/bin/kong global script about kong

What is the reasoning behind not offering init scripts?

[thibaultcha]

upstart is dead, systemd is the new hotness.

write standard systemd script for daemons like systemd which would use #3 CLI

alternatives include: Upstart, runit, and OpenRC.

[mschurenko]

a classic init shell script can be run under upstart, systemd, etc. that's the probably the best way to approach this. this is how datadog agent does it.

We have a good enough MVP script for now!

@thibaultcha What happened with this? I can't seem to find any init scripts shipped with Kong. You said in #7 it was moved to this issue, so the trail seems to end here.

[thibaultcha]

This was about implementing a CLI, which we now have, not init scripts. For the record: so far we do not provide init scripts.

The community pressure for it is not huge so we currently allocate our - limited - resources on Kong itself. We would welcome such a contribution given it is provided for all our distribution packages - https://getkong.org/install/
