+## Persistence
+If you'd like the bridge to run automatically (and persistently) on startup in Linux, you can set up a systemd service.
+In this example, it is assumed that you have the project a (non-root) user's home directory, and set up the venv according to the above.
+
+Create the file ```~/.config/systemd/user/mmrelay.service```:
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=A Meshtastic to [matrix] bridge
+After=default.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=idle
+WorkingDirectory=%h/meshtastic-matrix-relay
+ExecStart=%h/meshtastic-matrix-relay/.pyenv/bin/python %h/meshtastic-matrix-relay/main.py
+Restart=on-failure
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+The service is enabled and started by
+```
+$ systemctl --user enable mmrelay.service
+$ systemctl --user start mmrelay.service
+```
