service-install 0.1.1

** Easily provide users an install method**

Note this is an early release, there might be bugs

I would love some help to find them though!

Features

• Install the service to run on boot or a schedule
• Perform the install step by step or in one go
• Print each step or all at once (or make a tui/prompt!)
• Roll back on failure
• Configure the location or let us find a suitable one on the system
• Uses systemd or cron
• Specify which user the service should run as
• Undo de installation tearing down the service and removing the files

Example

Installing the current program as a user service named cli that should run at 10:42 every day. This does not need superuser/admin permissions.

use service_install::{install_user, schedule::Schedule};
use time::Time;

fn main() {
    let schedule = Schedule::Daily(Time::from_hms(10, 42, 00).unwrap());
    let done = install_user!()
        .current_exe()
        .unwrap()
        .name("cli")
        .on_schedule(schedule)
        .prepare_install()
        .unwrap()
        .install()
        .unwrap();
}

For more detailed examples (such as a working Tui/Prompt) see

Future work

• Offer a pre build TUI/Prompt. That would allow the end user to go through the install interactively.
• Windows support (could use some help here, not a big windows user myself)
