Manual launch

To manually launch the FlowerDocs GUI, FlowerDocs Core and ARender HMI applications, simply issue the following commands:


./flower-docs-gui-webapp-2025.0.jar


./flower-docs-core-webapp-2025.0.jar


./arondor-arender-hmi-spring-boot-2023.4.0.jar

Installation in service

Linux

FlowerDocs applications can be installed simply as a Linux service init.d or systemd.

In this section, it is assumed that the JARs flower-docs-gui-webapp-2025.0.jar, flower-docs-core-webapp-2025.0.jar and arondor-arender-hmi-spring-boot-2023.4.0.jar are placed in the /opt/flowerdocs folder. This folder is also used as a configuration directory.

Service init.d

To install FlowerDocs applications as an init.d service, simply create a symbolic link in the /etc/init.d directory:


chmod +x /opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-gui-webapp-2025.0.jar
ln -s /opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-gui-webapp-2025.0.jar /etc/init.d/gui


chmod +x /opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-core-webapp-2025.0.jar
ln -s /opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-core-webapp-2025.0.jar /etc/init.d/core


chmod +x /opt/flowerdocs/arondor-arender-hmi-spring-boot-2023.4.0.jar
ln -s /opt/flowerdocs/arondor-arender-hmi-spring-boot-2023.4.0.jar /etc/init.d/arender-hmi

With this type of service, the user to whom the JAR belongs is used to run the application. One log file per application is stored in the /var/log directory.

So that the service starts automatically when the system is booted:


update-rc.d gui defaults


update-rc.d core defaults


update-rc.d arender-hmi defaults

If the service is not found, it may be necessary to run the following command:

systemctl daemon-reload

Service systemd

To install FlowerDocs applications as a systemd service, the gui.service, core.service and arender-hmi.service scripts must be created in the /etc/systemd/system directory such as :


[Unit]
Description=FlowerDocs GUI
After=syslog.target

[Service]
User=flowerdocs
ExecStart=/opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-gui-webapp-2025.0.jar
SuccessExitStatus=143

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


[Unit]
Description=FlowerDocs Core
After=syslog.target

[Service]
User=flowerdocs
ExecStart=/opt/flowerdocs/flower-docs-core-webapp-2025.0.jar
SuccessExitStatus=143

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


[Unit]
Description=ARender HMI
After=syslog.target

[Service]
User=flowerdocs
ExecStart=/opt/flowerdocs/arondor-arender-hmi-spring-boot-2023.4.0.jar
SuccessExitStatus=143

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To have the service started automatically by systemd, run the following commands:


systemctl enable gui.service


systemctl enable core.service


systemctl enable arender-hmi.service

JVM configuration

To configure the JVM of the application launched by the Linux service, you need to add a configuration file in the same directory as the JAR. This configuration file must have the same name as the JAR, with the extension conf.

Commands

To start the services, simply issue the commands:


service gui start


service core start


service arender-hmi start

Other standard commands are also supported: status, stop or restart.
