Services let the gateway run in the background and automatically restart when your system reboots. Moldable Gateway can install a background service on macOS, Linux, or Windows.

​
Install

moldable gateway install-service

​
Start/stop

moldable gateway start-service
moldable gateway stop-service

​
Status

moldable gateway service-status

​
What gets installed

  • macOS: LaunchAgent com.moldable.gateway under ~/Library/LaunchAgents/.
  • Linux: user-level systemd unit ~/.config/systemd/user/moldable-gateway.service.
  • Windows: a scheduled task named MoldableGateway.

​
Logs

On macOS, stdout/stderr are written to /tmp/moldable-gateway.log by the LaunchAgent (unless you enable the disk log kill switch gateway.logs.disable_disk_logs, in which case service stdio is redirected to /dev/null when the service is installed). If you change that setting later, re-run moldable gateway install-service to update the service config. The gateway also writes persistent logs under ~/.moldable/gateway/logs/:
  • gateway.log - the human-readable CLI activity stream
  • trace.log - detailed debug logging
