Installing & configuring JBoss WildFly in CentOS 8 with different user

Question

I want to install and configure JBoss WildFly 26.0.0.Final as a systemd/init.d service in my Linux VM (CentOS 8) with different user - not with the default wildfly user.

I have gone through the steps in many of the How-To-Dos and also on the official site. But would like to know what changes regarding the user, I need to make for such configuration.

Some of the links I have gone through do not specify the changes to be made. Installing on CentOS 7

Answer 1

Please look in the etc directory for the wildfly folder. there is a wildfly.conf there, according to your specifications, further information is required

1. Location of JDK -: JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/oracle/jdk-17

2. Location of WildFly -: JBOSS_HOME=/opt/wildfly

3. The username who should own the process -: JBOSS_USER=wildfly

4. The configuration you want to run -: WILDFLY_CONFIG=standalone.xml

5. The mode you want to run -: WILDFLY_MODE=standalone

I faced the same problem as you. Only after I added the relevant information does everything run smoothly
