SystemD Support

[pcfreak30]

For deb/rpm systemd support would be nice.

Here is a starting point:

[Unit]
Description=Chia Farmr Monitor
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
[Service]
User=root
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/farmr
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hey, this has been in the repo for some days now (https://github.com/joaquimguimaraes/farmr/blob/main/.github/workflows/farmr.service), and it's included as a user service in the .deb, .rpm packages in v1.4.1
I will be writing documentation on how to enable it.
systemctl --user enable farmr

Hi,
it seams the service is not installed anymore when doing apt install :(

I just installed v1.6.1 on my rpi4 with sudo apt install ./farmr-ubuntu-aarch64.deb and could enable it with systemctl --user enable farmr. Don't forget to start it aswell with systemctl --user start farmr.

Also important: execute sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER once, as the --user flag tells systemd to use user units (which work by default only if the user is logged in). More about it here: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/systemd/User_Units/

Big Problem is that the farmr service does not wait for the harvester to start and just crashes.
