How to configure the Duplicacy Web edition as a systemd service
Introduction
The Duplicacy Web Edition is a single binary file that can be run directly from the Linux
command line.
This makes it simple to run and does not require installation.
However, if you prefer to run this as a systemd
service that automatically starts up in the background, you can create a custom systemd
service.
Configuration
Copy the Duplicacy binary file to the
/usr/bin/
directory.
For example:
sudo cp duplicacy_web_linux_x64_1.8.0 /usr/bin
Change the permissions to
755
.
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/duplicacy_web_linux_x64_1.8.0
Create a
systemd
service unit in the/usr/lib/systemd/user
directory.
For example:
sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/user/duplicacy-web.service
The contents should look like the following:
[Unit]
Description=Duplicacy Web service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/duplicacy_web_linux_x64_1.8.0
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Reload the
systemctl
daemon.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Enable the service.
systemctl --user enable duplicacy-web.service
Start the service.
systemctl --user start duplicacy-web.service
Run the
loginctl
command with thelinger
option to make sure the service runs in the background even when logged off from the system.
sudo loginctl enable-linger <username>
Change <username>
to your actual username.
The Duplicacy web GUI will now automatically start and run in the background as a systemd
service.
