Systemd Service

Domain: Installation & Setup

Motivation

On Linux, the gateway can run as a systemd service. This means it starts automatically when your computer boots and stays running in the background. Use hermes gateway install to set it up.

Concrete Example

You run hermes gateway install. Now every time you boot your server, the Hermes gateway starts automatically and your Telegram bot is online.

Analogy

Like the school bell that rings automatically at the same time every day, no one needs to press a button.
