Linux Redmine-Thin Systemd(Systemctl) Service Daemon Registration - Not working

1. Create service script

Create file /etc/systemd/system/redmine.service with the content:

/etc/systemd/system/redmine.service

[Unit]
Description=Redmine server
After=syslog.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=redmine
Group=redmine

ExecStart=/usr/bin/ruby /usr/share/webapps/redmine/script/rails server thin -e production -p 6000

# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down
TimeoutSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Reload daemon

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl enable redmine

systemctl start redmine


If you have trouble with start service, Check permission - user/group in service script
