Systemd shutting down when terminal is closed
Raw
gistfile1.txt
You’re running the service from your user manager (--user), and apparently your logind doesn’t have lingering enabled for you. As a result, your session (including any services started inside it) is closed down whenever you log out.
To change this behaviour, you need to enable lingering:
`sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER`
This will start a user manager for you at boot and allow your services to survive your login sessions.
A better approach for a system service such as this is really to run it as its own user, managed by the main systemd instance.
