Instructions

  • Change {user} and {group} to the ones you want ASF to run as
  • Change {ASF path} to the absolute path of the ASF executable on your system, note that the user and/or group entered in the previous step must have the proper permissions for all the ASF files
  • Move this to the systemd system units folder (usually /etc/systemd/system)
  • Start and enable it running systemctl enable asf --now with root privileges, this way it will be restarted at boot

Status and Output

  • To check if ASF is running use systemctl status asf
  • To see ASF output in real-time use journalctl -u asf -f
  • To see all of ASF output up to the current moment use journalctl -u asf

Note that all the above commads need to be run with root privileges (root user or sudo).

If you find any problems or need help to make it work let me know.
