Run speedlogger as a service

To run it as a service, we are firstly going to create a file in the /etc/init.d/ folder to have our own service. Let’s create a speedLogger file:

$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/speedLogger.service

And put the following content:

[Unit]
Description=SpeedLogger Service

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node <path_to_this_repo>/index.js
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
Environment=PORT=3001
WorkingDirectory=<path_to_this_repo>            

set permissions and enable the service we've just created:

$ sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/speedLogger.service 
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable speedLogger.service

To start the server, simply type:

$sudo systemctl start speedLogger.service
