Service config for systemd

If you want to keep Chibisafe running by using systemd you can copy the example code shown below and create the file /etc/systemd/system/chibisafe.service with it.

You will need to edit the parameters:

• User to be the username/uid of your chibisafe instance
• WorkingDirectory to the FULL path to your chibisafe, /home/chibisafe/chibisafe for example.
• EnvironmentFile the same as the above, with the addition of /.env, /home/chibisafe/chibisafe/.env

If you are using n/nvm you will also need to update the path to npm in ExecStart

• For n this will likely be /home/username/n/bin/npm
• You can also find this by running whereis npm in your terminal and copy the path from the output.

Example below.
