Log2Ram

Like ramlog for systemd on debian 8 jessie.

Usefull for Raspberry for not writing all the time on the SD card. You need it because your SD card don’t want to suffer anymore !

Log2Ram is based on transient log for Systemd here : A transient /var/log

Install

git clone https://github.com/azlux/log2ram.git
cd log2ram
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

into /usr/local/bin/log2ram

• You can change the SIZE variable if necessary
• If you prefer to use rsync, you can set the USE_RSYNC variable to true

Customize

services :

If you open the file /etc/systemd/system/log2ram.service , you will see a line starting by Before=, you can list here the services who need to start after log2ram. You will need to change this line when a service start too fast and stop running because log2ram mount a ram folder where it has start to write log.

For example, If you use apache instead of nginx, add apache2.service into this line.

variables :

Into the file log2ram (or /usr/local/bin/log2ram if you have already installed it), there are two variables into the script : SIZE=40M and USE_RSYNC=false

The first variable define the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM.

The second variable can be set to true if you prefer “rsync” than “cp”.

###It is working ? You can now check the mount folder in ram with

df -h
mount

######Now, muffins for everyone !
