Provide a systemd .service file?

It would be great if the software provided a Systemd .service unitfile. Wouldn't have to be installed by default, but just having it tucked away in lib/ or something where someone could edit the relevant paths and get that up and running. Thanks.

Docker can be configured to autostart a container on boot, which would provide the same service.

The above is what I've done on my personal install. (Although I had to upgrade to debian stretch to get docker's restart=always working properly)

I wouldn't mind including a systemd service file, but I'm an old fuck who's still on sysvinit, so I don't have anything to test it properly on.
PRs welcome!

Mapping the current LRR npm commands to a service lifecycle shouldn't be too hard.

That's cool about docker, but I'm hosting LANraragi in a LXC container that has it's own init.

I'll see if I can't find something that seems applicable, and then try it out myself. If it works, I'll submit it myself. But if someone already knows what to write, please feel free to put in a PR.

So I've written up a file, and I'm just letting it do its thing until I'm sure that I haven't set anything on fire by using it.

If anyone wants to try it out:

[Unit]
Description=LANraragi web application
After=network.target,redis.service # not sure if just redis.service would work or not

[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=your_install_path
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
#Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I'm sure modifications could be made, but so far this is working.

Since there's been no additional problems reported, I'll be folding this example into 0.5.3 as a "in case you want this" thing.

Thanks again!
