A .service file needs to be created in /etc/systemd/system directory. ExecStart path must be absolute.

Essential commands:

  • Enable: sudo systemctl enable <service-name>
  • Start: sudo systemctl start <service-name>
  • Stop: sudo systemctl stop <service-name>
  • Disable: sudo systemctl disable <service-name>
