Systemd config for python api-server setup. See also https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-python/blob/development/api-server.py

pyapi.service

# Systemd service config file for pyapi, to run as user 'node', group 'node' and in `/server/neo-python`
# https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html
#
# Instructions:
# 1. Adapt this file if and as needed (directories, user, group)
# 2. Save this file in /etc/systemd/system/pyapi.service
# 3. Enable the service with `systemctl enable pyapi`
#
# Now you can use systemctl to check status, start stop and restart the service: 
# `systemctl status|start|stop|restart pyapi`
#
# Watch the stdout/stderr output with journald: `journalctl -f -u pyapi`
# 
# Notes
# * The name `pyapi` is used because this is defined in SyslogIdentifier.
# * If you change the config file, you need to run `systemctl daemon-reload`
