Servy

Servy is a Windows tool that lets you run any executable as a Windows service, with full control over configuration, monitoring, management, and recovery, all via a clean graphical interface, CLI, or PowerShell.

The modern build supports Windows 10 (1809+), Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016+. Legacy systems such as Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 are also supported via a dedicated .NET Framework 4.8 build. See the Installation Guide to choose the right version for your OS.

Key Benefits

• Run any executable as a Windows service, whether it's Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, or any other app.
• Service management: Quickly monitor and manage all Servy services with Servy Manager.
• Custom working directory: Ensures apps behave correctly even if they rely on relative paths, config files, or local assets.
• Health checks and automatic recovery: Keeps services running reliably with configurable restart policies.
• Pre-launch scripts: Execute tasks like fetching secrets or preparing configs before starting the main service.
• Run post-launch script execution automatically after the application starts successfully.
• Run pre-stop and post-stop hooks before the application stops and after the application stops.
• Modern, user-friendly UI: Real-time monitoring with CPU & RAM usage, logs, and status tracking for all services.
• Real-time service stdout and stderr output preview in Servy Console.
• Full CLI and PowerShell support: Automate service management in scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or batch deployments.
• Set service name, description, startup type, priority, CPU affinity, environment variables, dependencies, and parameters.
• Run services as Local System, local or domain accounts, Active Directory accounts, or gMSAs.
• Redirect stdout and stderr to log files with automatic size-based and date-based rotations.
• Prevent orphaned and zombie processes with improved lifecycle management and resource cleanup.
• Monitor and manage services in real time.
• Broad Compatibility: Native support for x64 and ARM64 architectures on the modern (.NET 10.0+) build, and x64 on the legacy (.NET Framework 4.8) build.
