This document guides you into how to set-up a systemd service to run teosd.
Since the teos service requires bitcoin to run, it is strongly recommended to also create a system service for bitcoin.
Once you have set the bitcoin service, proceed to copy teosd.service to the systemd folder, that is, if running from this folder:
cp teosd.service /etc/systemd/system
You can also create a file called teosd.service in the systemd folder and copy the content of teosd.service to it:
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/teosd.service
Notice the provided service file is using teos both as user and group for the service, so you may want to update that if that is not the configuration you are intending to use. Here are the lines to be updated:
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/<user>/.cargo/bin/teosd
SyslogIdentifier=<user>
# Directory creation and permissions
####################################
User=<user>
Group=<group>
The next step is enabling the service. You can do so by running:
sudo systemctl enable teosd.service
Finally, you can start the service by running:
sudo systemctl start teosd.service
From that point on, the tower will be run every time your system is turned on, and restarted if needed.
