Host worker

Set up and check unattended Bridge Host work.

The Host worker lets Bridge complete supported Host-level work when nobody needs to keep an Admin page open.

When you need it

Normal interactive Bridge use does not require you to manage a permanent service. A persistent Host worker is useful when you want unattended operations to continue reliably on a server.

Check the built-in status first

Open the Bridge worker/status area and use the built-in checks before changing the server. If the worker is already healthy, no manual service change is needed.

Linux service helper

For a Linux server using systemd, Micro CMS includes a command-line helper for installing, checking and removing the Host worker service. Run it as an administrator who is allowed to manage services, while keeping the worker itself under the normal site account.

check status
php /path/to/site/bridge-worker-service.php --status
install systemd service
php /path/to/site/bridge-worker-service.php --install-systemd

If your hosting does not use systemd, use its normal process/service manager and follow the Host worker guidance shown by Micro CMS.

After setup

Return to Bridge and confirm that the Host worker status is healthy before relying on unattended changes.
