pm2 startup actually supports "systemv" but only in redhat/centos6 way. It depends on chkconfig.
https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/4180 - nobody will patch pm2 for Devuan byt may be we will make a working init script?
#2 Re: Other Issues » Tomcat problems in Devuan » 2025-04-30 14:33:19
I found here that there is no pam_limits.so in common-session-noninteractive and common-session by design. Apache 2 can be preconfiured via /etc/apache2/envvars and what about tomcat? All manuals are only about systemd.
Now i put ulimit -n 16384 directly in /etc/init.d/tomcat9 and it is working, but what is the right way?
#3 Re: Other Issues » Tomcat problems in Devuan » 2025-04-30 11:27:51
i made "nofile = 65535" for tomcat and "nofile = 16384" for root... after restarting tomcat, i see a changes - 1st tomcat process have nofile=16384 (cat /proc/1st_pid/limits) and ither processes has 8192.
nofile for root allows to change 1st tomcat process configuration, but not others. How to change nofile for tomcat, runned by init script?
In systemd i can make something like this:
[Service]
Type=forking
User=tomcat
Group=tomcat
LimitNOFILE = 65535Is it possible to make the same thing in /etc/defaults/tomcat?
#4 Re: Other Issues » Tomcat problems in Devuan » 2025-04-30 10:19:31
I also see no "pam_limits.so"
here:

I asked same question about tomcat. I will try to post here what I see in same situation:
All settings seems to be good and in the right places:
root@host:~# cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep file-max
fs.file-max = 65535
root@host:~# cat /etc/security/limits.d/nofile.conf
tomcat hard nofile 65535
tomcat soft nofile 65535Tomcat user shows right values:
root@host:~# sudo su -l tomcat -s /bin/bash
tomcat@host:~$ ulimit -n
65535
tomcat@host:~$ ulimit -Hn
65535
tomcat@host:~$ ulimit -Sn
65535Looking for tomcat pids:
root@host:~# lsof -t -i:8080
10832
10893
12255
12304
12339
12383
12578Checking limits, and found 8192 but not 65536:

Hi. I have some problems with tomcat:
1. It is unclear for me how to change running user. All modern manuals are for systemd. I tried to edit /etc/defaults/tomcat in tomcat7 style, but it is not working fine. I tried to edit /etc/init.d/tomcat9, but... Deviuan is not LFS.
2. It is unclear for me how tomcat security is working now. In systemd based systems I usually need only to put RW paths in unit file. In devuan I tried ro use tomcat9 security switch in /etc/defaults/tomcat and additional configs in policy.d. It is working now, but I found no documentation about it.
3. It is unclear for me how to run tomcat in 80 port on modern devuan. I want to find a silution wothout firewalls anp proxies. Solutions form tomcat7 and systemd based solutions are not working.
3. "Too many open files". Now i see 1024 when run "ulimit -n". I can run "ulimit -n 4096", but i can not store 4096 after reboot. I tried to add in /etc/security/limits.conf something like this
* soft nofile 2048
* hard nofile 2048But i see 1024 after reboot. I need to change this option only for "tomcat" process or "tomcat" user. All manuals are about how to edit systemd unit to make another limit value.
#7 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] certbot renewal cron script » 2025-04-30 07:17:07
As far as I understand, the package is created on the Debian side. The package creator thought about Debian users, implementing the transfer of control to systemd and about other good people... that's good.
The lack of a hook for restarting Apache is probably also somehow justified.
I changed the settings. Made updates weekly and added an action for Apache.
#8 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] certbot renewal cron script » 2025-04-29 17:20:09
I have a similar opinion on this issue. That's why I asked questions about the standard script. The frequency of script launch and the lack of hooks is most likely the responsibility of the maintainer in debian. I think he was guided by the recommendations of the certbot developers.
test -x /usr/bin/certbot -a \! -d /run/systemd/system && perl -e 'sleep int(rand(43200))'This code raises questions for me.
Accordingly, it seems to me that the standard cron task is either not quite suitable for devuan or in principle needs to be improved by the administrator.
#9 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] certbot renewal cron script » 2025-04-29 11:47:43
One more question. Does this mean that the apache2 service will reload (not restart) twice a day (*/12)? It's not scary, but it's not necessary. IMHO.

The main question is... should certbot deb package from Debian be patched for Devuan?
this cron task is from original package:

Hi.
Is it good for devuan?
cat /etc/cron.d/certbot
# /etc/cron.d/certbot: crontab entries for the certbot package
#
# Upstream recommends attempting renewal twice a day
#
# Eventually, this will be an opportunity to validate certificates
# haven't been revoked, etc. Renewal will only occur if expiration
# is within 30 days.
#
# Important Note! This cronjob will NOT be executed if you are
# running systemd as your init system. If you are running systemd,
# the cronjob.timer function takes precedence over this cronjob. For
# more details, see the systemd.timer manpage, or use systemctl show
# certbot.timer.

Hi.
All manuals are about systemd units. I tried to edit /etc/default/tomcat9 with this lines
AUTHBIND=yes
TOMCAT9_SECURITY=yes
SECURITY_MANAGER="true"
Also i made /etc/tomcat9/policy.d/06my.policy
with text inside:
grant codeBase "file:/opt/dir1/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:/tmp/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
but it is not working at all.

I need JDK too. And without a hacks.

There are some problems with update-alternatives and environment variables. Even old Slackware was more user friendly... no php (exept official) on 32bit systems, no java (exept official). But we have OpenRC. And tomorrow, people from adoptopenjdk will make a systemd dependence.... 
Devuan is not reliable and it is impossible to use devuan for serious purposes.

You found a time to make a lot of words... but I need my services works now, not tomorrow. And may be i will just change a linux distribution.
Some time ago i build (just for fun) a nice 80286 computer. With 25MHz CPU and i287XL NPU, with 16MB of ram, 1MB of vram, good lan, sound and SCSI card. I read about embedded linux, but it is a lie. There is no linux on 286 (hey, there is no linux on 386!). Xenix? Minix? Old UNIX? No... the best OS for this computer is DOS. Somebody fiound a time and money (or even a motivation) to make a web server, ssh server and client, ftp server and other for dos and it is working Also, DOS includes useful LAN stack, and XENIX actually not.
Here we have the same thing - Devuan developers have a lot of problems and Devuan 3 will be released may be after Debian 11, BUT! You tell me about a great OS for free... no, i have no great os for free, i have a choice.
Sorry for my english, but i spended about 60 hours of my private time to make this wonderfull os works with 2020Q1 applications.
I think that are so used to it that it is possible you have lost sight of a very important fact: I can buy a first class OS to run my boxes, but i can not buy Devuan. Only donate without any guarantee that the terrible Debian will not destroy the subj at the next vote.

Making a sarcastic comment in such a context is a mistake.
No sarcasm. There is actually no way to get php 7.3 in devuan. It is possible to build it from tdrnetworks sources but with no tests, or use beowulf (with "debian" in grub). Now I can not update owncloud, wordpress (with some custom code) and a lot of other really simple services in ascii 2.1. Also, i have some small servers with 686-pae and "broken" sury. Yes, it is my problem. No sarcasm... no support, no roadmap, no place in production.
It was my mistake to use devuan. It was my fault - to trust devuan. No sarcasm.
We are actually have no rock stable actual LAMP out of the box... but talk about arm64, amd drivers, laptops... with no sarcasm.
IMHO
