Auto Startup on FreeNAS Jail

Autostart on FreeBSD and FreeNAS is done through rc, which handles the autostarting and autorebooting of daemons.

To setup auto start for freenas on startup, preferably inside a FreeNAS Jail, you must create an init script.

touch /etc/rc.d/oblecto
edit /etc/rc.d/oblecto

Paste the following init script. Make sure to modify the path of Oblecto to the correct location.

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr

PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
     
name="oblecto"
rcvar=oblecto_enable
     
start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd=":"

load_rc_config $name
eval "${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}"
     
oblecto_start()
{
  # And start up the service.

  /usr/lib/node_modules/oblecto/bin/oblecto.js

}
     
run_rc_command "$1"

Now the final step is to run this init srcipt at boot. Add the following to /etc/rc.conf

oblecto_enable="YES"

You can start Oblecto either by restarting your jail or by running service oblecto start.
