Update systemd.md
With previous configuration `pumactl restart` would't work. It would stop puma instead of restarting if it was started by systemd before. This also occurs when capistrano restarts puma after deploy.

# systemd
[systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) is a
commonly available init system (PID 1) on many Linux distributions. It
offers process monitoring (including automatic restarts) and other
useful features for running Puma in production.
## Service Configuration
Below is a sample puma.service configuration file for systemd, which
can be copied or symlinked to /etc/systemd/system/puma.service, or if
desired, using an application or instance specific name.
Note that this uses the systemd preferred "simple" type where the
start command remains running in the foreground (does not fork and
exit). See also, the
[Alternative Forking Configuration](#alternative-forking-configuration)
below.

See [systemd.exec](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html)
for additional details.
## Socket Activation
systemd and puma also support socket activation, where systemd opens
the listening socket(s) in advance and provides them to the puma
master process on startup. Among other advantages, this keeps
listening sockets open across puma restarts and achieves graceful
restarts, including when upgraded puma, and is compatible with both
clustered mode and application preload.
**Note:** Socket activation doesn't currently work on jruby. This is
tracked in [#1367].
To use socket activation, configure one or more `ListenStream` sockets
in a companion `*.socket` unit file. Also uncomment the associated
`Requires` directive for the socket unit in the service file (see
above.) Here is a sample puma.socket, matching the ports used in the
above puma.service:
~~~~ ini
[Unit]
Description=Puma HTTP Server Accept Sockets
[Socket]
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:9292
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:9293
# AF_UNIX domain socket
# SocketUser, SocketGroup, etc. may be needed for Unix domain sockets
# ListenStream=/run/puma.sock
# Socket options matching Puma defaults
NoDelay=true
ReusePort=true
Backlog=1024
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
~~~~
See [systemd.socket](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.socket.html)
for additional configuration details.
Note that the above configurations will work with Puma in either
single process or cluster mode.
### Sockets and symlinks
When using releases folders, you should set the socket path using the
shared folder path (ex. `/srv/projet/shared/tmp/puma.sock`), not the
release folder path (`/srv/projet/releases/1234/tmp/puma.sock`).
Puma will detect the release path socket as different than the one provided by
systemd and attempt to bind it again, resulting in the exception
`There is already a server bound to:`.
## Usage
Without socket activation, use `systemctl` as root (e.g. via `sudo`) as
with other system services:
~~~~ sh
# After installing or making changes to puma.service
systemctl daemon-reload
# Enable so it starts on boot
systemctl enable puma.service
# Initial start up.
systemctl start puma.service
# Check status
systemctl status puma.service
# A normal restart. Warning: listeners sockets will be closed
# while a new puma process initializes.
systemctl restart puma.service
~~~~
With socket activation, several but not all of these commands should
be run for both socket and service:
~~~~ sh
# After installing or making changes to either puma.socket or
# puma.service.
systemctl daemon-reload
# Enable both socket and service so they start on boot. Alternatively
# you could leave puma.service disabled and systemd will start it on
# first use (with startup lag on first request)
systemctl enable puma.socket puma.service
# Initial start up. The Requires directive (see above) ensures the
# socket is started before the service.
systemctl start puma.socket puma.service
# Check status of both socket and service.
systemctl status puma.socket puma.service
# A "hot" restart, with systemd keeping puma.socket listening and
# providing to the new puma (master) instance.
systemctl restart puma.service
# A normal restart, needed to handle changes to
# puma.socket, such as changing the ListenStream ports. Note
# daemon-reload (above) should be run first.
systemctl restart puma.socket puma.service
~~~~
Here is sample output from `systemctl status` with both service and
socket running:

## Alternative Forking Configuration
Other systems/tools might expect or need puma to be run as a
"traditional" forking server, for example so that the `pumactl`
command can be used directly and outside of systemd for
stop/start/restart. This use case is incompatible with systemd socket
activation, so it should not be configured. Below is an alternative
puma.service config sample, using `Type=forking` and the `--daemon`
flag in `ExecStart`. Here systemd is playing a role more equivalent to
SysV init.d, where it is responsible for starting Puma on boot
(multi-user.target) and stopping it on shutdown, but is not performing
continuous restarts. Therefore running Puma in cluster mode, where the
master can restart workers, is highly recommended. See the systemd
[Restart] directive for details.

### capistrano3-puma
By default,
[capistrano3-puma](https://github.com/seuros/capistrano-puma) uses
`pumactl` for deployment restarts, outside of systemd. To learn the
exact commands that this tool would use for `ExecStart` and
`ExecStop`, use the following `cap` commands in dry-run mode, and
update from the above forking service configuration accordingly. Note
also that the configured `User` should likely be the same as the
capistrano3-puma `:puma_user` option.

stage=production # or different stage, as needed
cap $stage puma:start --dry-run
cap $stage puma:stop --dry-run
