Daemonizing The Server

This page will walk you through the general steps of setting up the server as a daemon/service in Windows (Linux coming later).

Windows

Currently the server does not support running as a service in Windows. However, you can use a third-party tool like NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager) to instantiate a service. Here are the steps to do so:

Download the latest version of NSSM from here
Extract the downloaded zip file and navigate to the extracted folder (herein .\nssm)
Open a command prompt with administrative privileges and navigate to .\nssm\win64
Run the following command to open the NSSM service installation GUI:
```
nssm install
```
On the Application tab, set the following options:
- Path:
  - %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
- Startup directory:
  - C:\path\to\nsfw_ai_model_server
- Arguments:
  - -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoExit -Command "& '<MINICONDA3_DIR>\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1'; conda activate '<MINICONDA3_DIR>'; start.ps1"
  - Change <MINICONDA3_DIR> to the path of your Miniconda3 installation directory (e.g. C:\Users\username\miniconda3)
- Service name:
  - AI Tagger Server (or any other name you prefer)
Optionally set the following options under the I/O Tab for logging:
- Output file:
  - C:\path\to\nsfw_ai_model_server\logs\stdout.log
- Error file:
  - C:\path\to\nsfw_ai_model_server\logs\stderr.log
Click on the Install service button
A diaglog box will confirm that the service has been installed. Click OK
Open the Services application by pressing Win + R and typing services.msc
Locate the service named AI Tagger Server (or the name you specified) and start it
The AI Tagger server should now be running as a service

Uninstalling the service

To uninstall the service, follow these steps:

Open a command prompt with administrative privileges and navigate to .\nssm\win64
Run the following command:
```
nssm remove "AI Tagger Server"
```
The service should now be uninstalled
