Do I have to create an account first?

No account required. Fill out the form, generate your service file, and download instantly.

Do you keep my generated service files?

No. The file is generated in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.

Where should I place the generated .service file?

Place your service file in /etc/systemd/system/ directory. After copying, run sudo systemctl daemon-reload to reload the configuration.

What's the difference between service types?

Simple: runs in foreground. Forking: traditional daemon. Oneshot: runs once. Notify: signals readiness to systemd.

How do I start my service after installation?

After daemon-reload, run sudo systemctl enable your-service for auto-start on boot, then sudo systemctl start your-service to start immediately.

Can I edit the generated file?

Yes. The generated file is a starting point - customize it for your needs.
