Making Metabase a service using winsw

Metabase can be used as it is, but if you want to run it as a service on Windows Server, it is convenient to use winsw to make the jar file a service. (Reference: https://qiita.com/moni-hide/items/fd26fb223f2d4736cf55)

1. Press Ctrl + C at the command prompt to stop Metabase once.

2. Download winsw (https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw). (Winswv2.3.0 as of 12/11/2019)

3. Download WinSW.NET4.exe and sample-allOptions.xml. Copy metabase.jar to the location where you copied it earlier. (WinSW.NET4.exe seems to be for .NET4. (Https://www.wake-mob.jp/2019/06/windows10-nginxphp.html))

4. Edit the xml file. (Reference: https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/blob/master/doc/xmlConfigFile.md)

5. At the command prompt, attach the ones entered in the above executable and arguments, remove% base%, and run once.

6. After the installation is complete, reconnect to the http: // localhost: 3000 you just connected and check that the Welcome screen appears.

7. Press Ctrl + C once to stop.

8. If you are not running the command prompt as an administrator, close it and rerun it as an administrator.

9. cd to the location of Metabase.exe and type metabase.exe install.

10. After the installation is complete, check that metabase is added to the Windows service column, and start the service. After starting the service, connect to 3000port from another PC and check that the screen is displayed. If the server OS can be restarted, restart it, connect to 3000port from another PC in the same way, and check that the screen is displayed.
