sudo systemctl edit evcc
```

:::warning
Bearbeite nicht direkt `/lib/systemd/system/evcc.service`.
Diese Datei wird bei jedem Paket-Update durch `apt` überschrieben und deine Änderungen gehen verloren.
Verwende stattdessen immer einen systemd Drop-in über `systemctl edit evcc`.

### Beispiel

```ini title="/etc/systemd/system/evcc.service.d/override.conf"
[Service]
Environment="EVCC_LOG=debug,tariff:trace"
Environment="EVCC_DATABASE_DSN=/usb/evcc/evcc.db"
Environment="EVCC_NETWORK_HOST=my-evcc.local"
Environment="EVCC_NETWORK_PORT=80"
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/evcc --custom-css /path/to/my.css

sudo systemctl edit evcc

:::warning
Don't edit `/lib/systemd/system/evcc.service` directly.
That file is overwritten by `apt` on every package update and your changes will be lost.
Always use a systemd drop-in via `systemctl edit evcc` instead.
