If you're running a firewall, you'll also need to punch a hole in it at port 9418 on the box you're setting this up on.

You can daemonize this process a number of ways, depending on the operating system you're running.
On an Ubuntu machine, you can use an Upstart script.

Since `systemd` is the most common init system among modern Linux distributions, you can use it for that purpose.
Simply place a file in `/etc/systemd/system/git-daemon.service` with these contents:

[Unit]
Description=Start Git Daemon

[Service]
ExecStart=git daemon --reuseaddr --base-path=/srv/git/ /srv/git/

Restart=always
RestartSec=500ms

StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=git-daemon

User=git
Group=git

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
