Setting up systemctl service

It is a good idea to run diyis.py as a system service at boot time. The setup bash script will move the systemctl files to the /lib/systemd/system folder; enable the service and create three useful aliases: start, stop and status.

• Edit the diystatus.service file and enter your user directory
• Enter the following commands to install the service

chmod +x *.sh
./setup.systemctl.sh diyid

• Reboot is recommended
