Systemd User Service

Using a systemd service is the recommended method to run Limnoira.
You must also use systemd as your init system (this is usually the case on Linux, especially newer Ubuntu/Debian systems).

To enable systemd services as normal user (tested on Ubuntu 18.04+)

Run the following commands as the shell user where you'll be running your bot:

• loginctl enable-linger
• mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/ to create the user systemd folder
• Place the above systemd unit inside ~/.config/systemd/user/ and name it <BOTNAME>.service
• Run systemctl --user daemon-reload to make systemd aware of changed files, systemctl --user enable <BOTNAME>.service to make the bot start on boot, and systemctl --user start <BOTNAME>.service to start the bot.

Some Useful Commands

• autostart on boot: systemctl --user enable <BOTNAME>.service
• disable autostart on boot: systemctl --user disable <BOTNAME>.service
• start the bot: systemctl --user start <BOTNAME>.service
• stop the bot: systemctl --user stop <BOTNAME>.service
• reload config files: systemctl --user reload <BOTNAME>.service
• show the latest logs: journalctl --user -fu <BOTNAME>.service
