Auto-save the state, auto-create the unix command socket
jpds opened this issue · comments
I just discovered sozu and as a new user - I think it should just autocreate the saved state file and command_socket if they don't exist.
Auto-create the save state, on startup
But why? In what scenario would you need that? What behaviour would you like?
Unix socket
The unix socket is already created automatically on start:

and if it is not present, it is deleted and recreated:

@jpds I agree with you
That's should be fixed! The patch will be in the next release.
@Keksoj I like software to Just Work out of the box.
If you're new to sozu
and you git clone
it and then cargo build
, and then copy and paste the configuration pieces from: https://github.com/sozu-proxy/sozu/blob/main/doc/configure.md
Let's go:
$ ./target/debug/sozu start -c sozu.config
Error: Invalid configuration file.
Caused by:
0: Invalid saved_state in the config. Check your config file
1: could not get saved state path from config file input "./state.json"
2: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Hmm, OK - what is a state file and what is it suppose to look like?
Let's try:
$ touch state.json
$ ./target/debug/sozu start -c sozu.config
initializing logger

OK, I'll mkdir
that folder, but is this software expecting me to do anything else that isn't mentioned in the documentation after that?
And as a new user, that is not a good experience.
