I installed mpd and mpd-runit. but there is no openrc service to start it.

How can I start mpd with openRC

Just write OpenRC script basing on runit one. You just need to put that commands in start function (without --no-daemon option) and add some depend function

Or get the script contributed here and convert the systemd service.

Thank you guys.

first of I am still learning about these init script so please pardon advanced beginner questions

I found the script in a reddit post Here

with the systemd script

Code: [Select]

[Unit]
Description=Music Player Daemon
After=network.target sound.target

[Service]
User=mpd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon
LimitRTPRIO=50
LimitRTTIME=-1
ControlGroup=cpu:/mpd
ControlGroupAttribute=cpu.rt_runtime_us 500000

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

and the runit on

Code: [Select]

 
#!/bin/sh
 MPDCONF=/etc/mpd.conf
 exec mpd --stdout --no-daemon $MPDCONF

If I understand correctly it should look like.

Code: [Select]

#!/sbin/openrc-run
  
name=mpd
command="mpd --stdout  /home/{user}/.config/mpd/mpd.conf"

Code: [Select]

#!/sbin/openrc-run

command=/usr/bin/mpd
pidfile=

name="mpdSysd"
description="Music Player Daemon"

is this correct and where does this file need to go? I believe it is supposed to go here

/etc/init.d

Actually, Gentoo already has its own mpd initscript, so you don't need to convert systemd/runit service files to OpenRC ones.
