Installing as a Standalone Application
Jabylon can be launched as a standalone application based on Apache Karaf. Start by downloading the standalone distribution and extract it to a directory of your choice. Please make sure that the user running Jabylon has write permission in this directory.
Starting Jabylon
To start Jabylon simply open a shell, cd to the directory where you extracted Jabylon and run
bin/start[.bat]
For more information on starting and stopping see the Karaf documentation
Jabylon should now start up and be available at http://localhost:8080.
By default, it will bind to 0.0.0.0 so it will be reachable on all network interfaces. To adjust the default port and bind host you can change it in etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg.
If you more advanced listener configuration you can modify etc/jetty.xml. Additional details can be found in the Karaf documentation
Integration in the operating system - Service Wrapper
Linux - Systemd
To run Jabylon as a systemd service, start by opening a shell and entering the jabylons installation directory. Execute bin/contrib/karaf-service.sh -k <install-dir> -n <service-name> -u <runtime-user> to create the systemd unit files. Next copy the unit files to the systemd directory, e.g.:
$ sudo cp /opt/jabylon/bin/contrib/jabylon.service /etc/systemd/system $ sudo cp /opt/jabylon/bin/contrib/jabylon@.service /etc/systemd/system
Lastly, enable the service with
$ systemctl enable jabylon.service
