Systemd Service Unit Builder

Generate valid /etc/systemd/system/*.service files for Node.js, Python, Go, or custom Linux daemons with ready-to-use systemctl setup commands.

Service Options

If the service restarts more than {{ startLimitBurst }} times within {{ startLimitIntervalSec }}s, systemd stops trying instead of looping forever on a permanently-broken command.

Dependencies

Space-separated unit names. Requires stops this service if the dependency fails or stops; Wants starts it alongside without that hard coupling.

Environment Variables

Space-separated KEY=value pairs; wrap a value in quotes if it contains spaces, e.g. GREETING="hello world". Each becomes its own Environment= line.

Hardening

The same safe baseline for Node.js, Python or Go — systemd sandboxing works at the OS level, not the language level. A preset only fills in a typical ExecStart placeholder and turns hardening on; it never restricts network access, since the whole point of these runtimes is almost always running a network service.

About Systemd Services

Systemd is the standard init system for Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora) responsible for bootstrapping user-space daemons and managing background processes.
