How to turn wt-tracker into service and always run like Nginx about wt-tracker HOT 8 CLOSED

Running a program as a service is very common task that differs depending on OS.
If your system supports system.d than you can just create a .service file like:

/etc/systemd/system/tracker.service

[Unit]
Description=WebTorrent Tracker

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/opt/wt-tracker
ExecStart=/opt/wt-tracker/bin/wt-tracker

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

from wt-tracker.

apt install screen
screen ./bin/wt-tracker
then press Ctrl+a+d

Thanks!
It worked for me.
But it is not a long term solution, I think.

Yes, this is a temporary solution that has been working on my server for more than a month. I couldn’t get to work as a system service.

as there r "WorkingDirectory=", the "ExecStart=" should not contain that local twice.
fix like this " ExecStart=/bin/wt-tracker "

ps: include node local better.
