# OpenRC Service Installation Guide

This guide explains how to install and enable the `ovpmon-api` and `ovpmon-gatherer` services on an Alpine Linux (or other OpenRC-based) system.

## Prerequisites

- **Paths**: The scripts assume the application is installed at `/opt/ovpmon`.
- **Virtualenv**: A python virtual environment should exist at `/opt/ovpmon/venv`.

If your paths differ, you can edit the scripts directly or create configuration files in `/etc/conf.d/`.

## Installation Steps

1.  **Copy the scripts to `/etc/init.d/`**:
    ```sh
    cp ovpmon-api /etc/init.d/
    cp ovpmon-gatherer /etc/init.d/
    ```

2.  **Make them executable**:
    ```sh
    chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ovpmon-api
    chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ovpmon-gatherer
    ```

3.  **Add to default runlevel** (to start on boot):
    ```sh
    rc-update add ovpmon-api default
    rc-update add ovpmon-gatherer default
    ```

4.  **Start the services**:
    ```sh
    rc-service ovpmon-api start
    rc-service ovpmon-gatherer start
    ```

## Configuration (Optional)

You can override default variables without editing the script by creating files in `/etc/conf.d/`.

**Example `/etc/conf.d/ovpmon-api`**:
```sh
# Override installation directory
directory="/var/www/ovpmon/APP"

# Override command arguments
command_args="/var/www/ovpmon/APP/openvpn_api_v3.py --debug"
```
