Update: Now my debian package run using the systemd scripts in
bin/contrib and without karaf-wrapper, and now it works without the
previous startup problems on my virtual cloud server.
To build a debian package of karaf 4.0.7 on debian "jessie", do the
following:
1. Add jessie-backports to /etc/apt/sources.list
https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index2h2
2. Install openjdk-8-jdk from jessie-backports (as root):
apt-get update
apt-get -t jessie-backports install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre
openjdk-8-jdk-headless
3. Install pre-requisites (as root):
apt-get install ruby ruby-dev build-essential
4. Clone the package building project and build a new .deb package
mkdir -p $HOME/git
cd $HOME/git
git clone https://github.com/steinarb/karaf-deb-packaging.git
cd karaf-deb-packing
./dist_karaf.sh
mv *.deb /tmp
5. As root, install the new karaf .deb
dpkg --install /tmp/karaf_4.0.7-1.deb
After this, karaf is running as user karaf, group karaf, and will be
started on boot.
The data directory is /var/lib/karaf/data.
The logs go to /var/log/karaf.
