===== 1. Install Gateway =====
# Create directory
sudo mkdir -p /opt/data-gateway
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/data-gateway
# Copy files
cp -r ./publish/* /opt/data-gateway/
# Make executable
chmod +x /opt/data-gateway/WvdS.WebAPI.Data.Gateway.Api
# Adjust configuration
sudo nano /opt/data-gateway/appsettings.json
----
===== 2. Create User =====
# Dedicated service user
sudo useradd --system --no-create-home --shell /sbin/nologin datagateway
# Set permissions
sudo chown -R datagateway:datagateway /opt/data-gateway
----
===== 3. Create systemd Unit =====
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/data-gateway.service

**Detailed error analysis:**
# Test executable directly
sudo -u datagateway /opt/data-gateway/WvdS.WebAPI.Data.Gateway.Api
# SELinux issues (RHEL/CentOS)
sudo ausearch -m avc -ts recent
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
----
===== Change Port =====
In ''appsettings.json'':
{
"Kestrel": {
"Endpoints": {
"Http": {
"Url": "http://0.0.0.0:8080"
}
}
}
}
**Open firewall:**
# firewalld (RHEL/CentOS)
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
# ufw (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
----
===== Remove Service =====
# Stop and disable
sudo systemctl stop data-gateway
sudo systemctl disable data-gateway
# Remove unit file
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/data-gateway.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# Remove files (optional)
sudo rm -rf /opt/data-gateway
sudo userdel datagateway
