DIY

See https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-deploy-Etherpad-Lite-as-a-service ''mutatis mutandis'': please adapt its content according to your system configuration.

=== Debian 9 === The following assumes your code is in /srv/mediathekviewweb .

Add a systemuser mediathekviewweb, and make the home owned by this user:

sudo adduser --system --home=/srv/mediathekviewweb --group mediathekviewweb
sudo chown -R mediathekviewweb:mediathekviewweb /srv/mediathekviewweb

Add a file /etc/systemd/system/mediathekviewweb.service with the content

[Unit]
Description=MediathekViewWeb
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=mediathekviewweb
Group=mediathekviewweb
ExecStart=/srv/mediathekviewweb/bin/run.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Having this set up, and issue #43 / pull-request #47 installed, you can now start MediathekViewWeb service with

sudo systemctl start mediathekviewweb

or stop it using

sudo systemctl stop mediathekviewweb

Usually you want to start it automatically on boot. Then run once

sudo systemctl enable mediathekviewweb
