APy Service

[flammie]

I tried to upgrade my manual installation to ubuntu packaging as instructed in README:

$ wget -qO- https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh | bash
$ apt-get install apertium-apy

The resulting server doesn't seem to be functional:

flammie@flammie:~$ sudo systemctl start apertium-apy
flammie@flammie:~$ sudo systemctl status apertium-apy

The problem seems to be with the locale but I think the startup scripts should handle setting the correct locale?

It seems that the startup script tries to set C.UTF8 locale but somehow doesn't work, using /etc/default/apertium-apy fixed it:

flammie@flammie:~$ cat /etc/default/apertium-apy 
LC_ALL=C.utf8

ehh, I spoke too soon, it was just systemd being slow and it didn't start in the end -_-

hmm, so is there an issue or not?

[flammie]

Yeah, so the init script doesn't work out of the box as it is, although, the container I have is I think not 100 % default ubuntu LTS 16.04 but quite close. So to reproduce just did something like:

sudo apt-get install apertium-apy
sudo systemctl enable apertium-apy
sudo systemctl start apertium-apy

maybe it can be tested on docker or somethign
