Deploying on Linux/MacOS#

Vineyard can be deployed locally on MacOS and popular Linux distributions using the pip-installed package with the following command:

python -m vineyard

Command-line arguments#

Various command-line arguments are supported to configure the behaviors of the vineyard server, noteably,

--socket <PATH> to specify the path of UNIX-domain socket that vineyardd will bind to
--size <SIZE> to specify the upper limit of shared memory, can be in human readable format, e.g. 256M, 1G, etc.
--etcd_endpoint <ENDPOINT> to specify the etcd endpoint to connect

Vineyard a systemd service#

Vineyard can be installed and deployed as a systemd service on Linux. After installing vineyard using pip, the service initialized can be done by

python -m vineyard.systemd install

If you could like to install vineyard as a service for current user, you could

python -m vineyard.systemd --user install

Warning

When installing vineyard as a user service, you may also need the following command to prevent vineyard been shutdown after your session close:

sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER

After installing vineyard as a service, vineyardd will try to resolve configuration from /etc/vineyard.conf (for system-level service) or ~/.config/vineyard.conf (for user-level service). The configuration file follows the -flagfile format of gflags, see also GFlags Special Flags.

For more detailed arguments about the systemd service deployment, please refer to

python -m vineyard.systemd --help
