LinuxQuestions.org - Creating a systemd unit for gcr

I am trying to create a systemd unit file to run gcr. gcr runs in the foreground and polls an http server at a regular interval reporting activity to stdout. I created a unit file at /etc/systemd/system/gitlab-ci-runner with these contents.

Code:

[Unit]

Description=GitLab CI Runner supervision process

After=gitlab-runsvdir.service



[Service]

Type=simple

User=gitlab-ci-runner

ExecStart=/root/.nvm/current/bin/gcr -u http://ci.clipped.com -t a84b<clipped>25db

Restart=always

When I run `systemctl start gitlab-ci-runner`. I get the following with `systemctl status gitlab-ci-runner`

Code:

 Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gitlab-ci-runner.service; static)

  Active: active (exited) since Mon 2014-11-10 10:45:46 CST; 2 days ago



Nov 12 16:27:19 host systemd[1]: Started GitLab CI Runner supervision process.

It looks like it terminated, but it should not. How can I debug this further? I an new to systemd so any pointers are appreciated. Running `su - gitlab-ci-runner -c "/root/.nvm/current/bin/gcr -u http://ci.clipped.com -t a84b<clipped>25db"` produces something like the following.

Code:

gcr info [client] checking for builds...

gcr http 404 http://ci.clipped.com/api/v1/builds/register.json
