Installation
When you install the AVTool, it is recommended to use the following folder hierarchy:
cms-install-directory/
avtool/
avtool-app-4.4.0executable.conf
avtool-app-4.4.0-executable.jar
application.properties
mediaconfig.xml
data/
groovy/
logs/
...
We also provide a Docker image and Helmchart for deployment.
Starting and Stopping
You can use init.d to start and stop the AVTool. Simply create a symlink in /etc/init.d which points to the jar. It should be started by root but will use the owning user of the jar file for running the application.
To start the AVTool directly as non-root user, you have to change the location of the pid and log files to a place accessible by the user. Put a .conf file with the same name as the jar alongside the jar with a content like the following:
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1g -Davtool.groovy.dir=/cms-install-directory/avtool/groovy"
PID_FOLDER="/cms-install-directory/avtool/logs/"
LOG_FOLDER="/cms-install-directory/avtool/logs/"
To start the AVTool invoke the avtool-app-4.4.0-executable.jar as follows:
> cd cms-install-directory/avtool
> ./avtool-app-4.4.0-executable.jar start
To stop the AVTool, enter the following:
> cd cms-install-directory/avtool
> ./avtool-app-4.4.0-executable.jar stop
For all possible options look at the Spring Boot documentation.
