Author, great work! However, two typos sent me on a wild goose chase. Following two lines need to be corrected in order not to overwrite the service config file:

`echo WILDFLY_HOME=\"$WILDFLY_DIR\" > $WILDFLY_SERVICE_CONF`
`echo WILDFLY_USER=\"$WILDFLY_USER\" > $WILDFLY_SERVICE_CONF`

Change the operator to "append":

`echo WILDFLY_HOME=\"$WILDFLY_DIR\" >> $WILDFLY_SERVICE_CONF`
`echo WILDFLY_USER=\"$WILDFLY_USER\" >> $WILDFLY_SERVICE_CONF`

This should solve the issue people are having with the "chown: missing operand" error.

Works perfectly for Wildfly 10.1 on Raspberry Pi2 with CentOS 7:

• changed http port binding to 8080 in /opt/wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
• added firewall rules for external access: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
• reloaded firewall: firewall-cmd --reload
• added admin user: sudo -u wildfly /opt/wildfly/bin/add_user.sh

Had a lot of fun on this tiny wildlfy machine

failed on Fedora 25 with following error, could anyone help?

Thank you, I'll test Wildfly 11 on Ubuntu 17.10 64 bits

The systemd unit misses a line in [Service] section :
WorkingDirectory=$WILDFLY_DIR

Or wildfly will start in /

Thank you BastienDurel . Adding WorkingDirectory=$WILDFLY_DIR solved a problem I was having with user.dir .

In this script I saw the line "# Script from $WILDFLY_DIR/docs/contrib/scripts/systemd/launch.sh didn't work for me"

Well, I agree it's not out of the box, but to make the official wildfly contrib work, besides what's written in the README you only need to:

• EITHER unzip wildfly in /opt/wildfly OR make a symlink on that path
• AND populate $JAVA_HOME and $WILDFLY_HOME for the wildfly user. Its shall is nologin and I'm using Debian so defining system-wide env vars is sort of a challenge, so I directly changed launch.sh and set those env vars there.
  Then,
  systemctl daemon-reload
  systemctl start wildfly.service
  Done.
