AnviLLM Service Management

This directory contains service management scripts for running anvilsrv as a system service.

Available Init Systems

systemd (Most Common)

For modern Linux distributions using systemd (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Debian, etc.).

See systemd/README.md for installation instructions.

Quick Start (User Service):

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp services/systemd/anvilsrv-user.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now anvilsrv-user.service

runit

For systems using runit (Void Linux, some custom setups).

See runit/README.md for installation instructions.

Quick Start:

sudo cp -r services/runit /etc/sv/anvilsrv
sudo chmod +x /etc/sv/anvilsrv/run /etc/sv/anvilsrv/finish
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/anvilsrv /var/service/anvilsrv

Manual Management (No Init System)

If you don't want to use an init system, you can manage anvilsrv manually:

# Start the server
anvilsrv start

# Check status
anvilsrv status

# Stop the server
anvilsrv stop

You can also add this to your shell startup file (.profile, .bashrc, etc.):

# Auto-start anvilsrv if not running
anvilsrv status 2>/dev/null || anvilsrv start

Choosing an Init System

• systemd: Use if your distribution uses systemd (most modern Linux distributions)
• runit: Use if you're on Void Linux or specifically use runit
• manual: Use if you want full control or are testing/developing

Troubleshooting

Check if anvilsrv is Running

anvilsrv status

Check 9P Socket

# Should show the socket file
ls -la /tmp/ns.$USER/agent

# Test connection
echo "list" | 9p read agent/list

View Logs

systemd:

journalctl --user -u anvilsrv-user -f

runit:

sudo svlogd /var/log/anvilsrv

manual: Check stderr output (anvilsrv logs to stderr/stdout by default).
