## Setup goMarkableStream as a systemd service

This section explains how to set up goMarkableStream as a system service that will stay running through
device restart and sleep. Note, however, this setup script will need to be executed
for any reMarkable system update/installation.

First, we'll write the script, saving it to the home directory. Then, we'll execute the script which performs all
setup necessary to register goMarkableStream as a system service. It can be executed after every system update.
Note, this script assumes the goMarkableStream executable exists in the home directory.

```bash
localhost> ssh root@remarkable
```

Create a bash script under the home directory:
```bash
touch setupGoMarkableStream.sh
chmod +x setupGoMarkableStream.sh
```

Then open the file in nano:
```bash
nano setupGoMarkableStream.sh
```

Finally, paste (ctrl-shift-v) the following into the nano editor. Then save and quit (ctrl-X, Y, [enter]).
```bash
pushd /etc/systemd/system
touch goMarkableStream.service

cat <<EOF>goMarkableStream.service
[Unit]
Description=Go Remarkable Stream Server
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/root/goMarkableStream
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
systemctl enable goMarkableStream.service
systemctl start goMarkableStream.service
systemctl status goMarkableStream.service
popd
```
Executing setupGoMarkableStream.sh will register the goMarkableStream executable as a systemd service!
