Systemd

Run Lunar as a systemd service on Linux hosts with a sample unit file for reliable startup, restarts, and environment configuration.

Systemd is a system and service manager for Linux that provides a standardized way to define and control how services start, stop, and behave on boot.

For Lunar, systemd may be used to ensure that the application is reliably managed, automatically started at boot, and cleanly shut down or reloaded when needed.

Here's a simple systemd unit file that will run lunar in a resilient way.
