Managing Devo Relay on the command line

Introduction

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS	The relay is a Java process that runs as a service in the machine and is managed by the system manager systemd.
docker-compose	The provided docker-compose file contains two services (devo-ng-relay and devo-ng-relay-cli). Note that the CLI service does not need to be running all the time - it will just run while the CLI is in use. Find below the commands that can be used to perform the most common operations. You must be in the same folder where the .yml file is located to run these commands.

To start your relay, use the required command according to your OS:

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS	`sudo systemctl start devo-ng-relay`
docker-compose	`docker-compose run --rm devo-ng-relay-cli`

You can stop your relay process using these commands:

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS	`sudo systemctl stop devo-ng-relay`
docker-compose

Restart a relay process using these commands:

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS
docker-compose

You can check the status of the relay Java service using this command:

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS	Note that this command checks the status of the service that runs the relay, not the relay itself. To check the status of your current relay, you must use the relay CLI. Learn more in Working with the Devo Relay CLI.

As the relay runs as a systemd service, the logs can be consulted using the following commands:

Ubuntu / Red Hat / CentOS	You can use the -f flag to actively follow the logs as they are being written
docker-compose	You can use the -f flag to actively follow the logs as they are being written

The old devo-ng-relay container will be stopped and a new one will be created based on the new image selected. If you want to update the devo-ng-relay-cli service, use the command below. The CLI will download the new image and use it the next time it is executed.
