Install ArozOS as systemd Service (Start ArozOS on boot for Debian)

Creating a systemd service for your ArozOS

Lets assume your arozos system is installed at /home/pi/arozos/src, following the instructions below to setup systemd service for your arozos installation.

1. CD into systemd service folder

cd /etc/systemd/system/

2 Enable these two services

sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

3. Create the file like arozos.service

sudo nano arozos.service

4. Write the service content as follow (replace with your startup directories, use "/home/pi/arozos/src/" instead of "/home/pi/arozos/" if you are cloning from Github)

[Unit]
Description=ArozOS Cloud Service
After=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
Wants=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/arozos/
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/pi/arozos/start.sh

Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

4. Start the service with

sudo systemctl start arozos.service

5. Make it automatically startup during boot

sudo systemctl enable arozos.service

Start.sh not found exception

This might happen if you have accidentally removed your start.sh file or following installation guide from outdated blog posts. If you do not have a start.sh file inside /home/pi/arozos/start.sh, you can create one yourself using the following commands

sudo nano start.sh

and fill in the following contents

#!/bin/bash
sudo ./arozos -port=8080 -hostname="My ArOZ"

or if you are using launcher

#!/bin/bash
sudo ./launcher -port=8080 -hostname="My ArOZ"
