I used to use Apache under Windows, but it's difficult to get everything
needed for my configurations, and I've since turned to either WSL or full
Linux (via Hyper-V). Using WSL probably isn't a good idea, but I used
Windows Task Scheduler to start it at bootup.

I know of people who have used non-sucking service manager to turn general
applications into services, but I don't have specific experience with it
myself. I think there are other apps that do something similar.

Good Luck

Hello,

You might want to check out these two articles.


-
https://thepythoncorner.com/posts/2018-08-01-how-to-create-a-windows-service-in-python/
- https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/Gunicorn


The first article explains how to register your Python program with Windows
Services.

The second document describes how to get Trac to work with Gunicorn.

Instead of using the trac -d command to run trac, I think it should work
with Gunicorn.

Give it a try and good luck.

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. However I'm only using trac
standalone server and nothing else. Dan unfortunately NSSM is no longer
maintained.

Jiho thanks for the python link - I do have the script and it works to
start the service the issue I have is with getting the service to stop
while using tracd.

We recommend creating code to run using the waitress API instead of tracd.

I do not recommend using tracd.exe as a Windows service, however you could
use IIS with
HttpPlatformHandler to serve Trac.

If you are not using IIS, you will need to write python code to replace
tracd.

I've included documentation to help you with this in the previous link.
