Is there a supported method to daemonize dms? Currently I'm just using:

nohup dms > /tmp/dms.log

This works, but it's not an elegant solution.

I use a systemd service at ~/.config/systemd/user:

[Unit]
Description=UPnP Media Server

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/royall/go/bin/dms -path /home/royall/videos

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

After adding the file, run systemctl --user enable dms.service && systemctl --user start dms.service

[scottchiefbaker]

That worked really well actually. Good call.

FYI I learned you can use --now with system to save yourself duplicate commands. This will start and enable the service. For example:

systemctl --user --now enable dms.service

@anacrolix I think a systemd service file like this should be included in the repo. I'd like to submit a PR for this file, and update the docs to reflect how to utilize it. Where should the dms.service file go in the repo? Should I create a third_party folder, or a systemd folder, or just put in the root?

[anacrolix]

Let's put it in a systemd folder. That way it's clear what the purpose is, the .service file extension might not be enough on its own.

Closing this as PR #67 addresses this now.
