How it works

• Fill in the unit name, command, and environment. Restart and RestartSec control the restart policy.
• Hardening group adds NoNewPrivileges, PrivateTmp, ProtectSystem=strict, ProtectHome, and a ReadWritePaths whitelist.
• Wait for network adds After=network-online.target and Wants=network-online.target; the Install section wires WantedBy=multi-user.target.
• After generating, run the hint below: sudo systemctl daemon-reload followed by sudo systemctl enable --now <unit>.

About Systemd Unit Generator

Systemd unit files are small but easy to get subtly wrong — a missing User, a Restart value that never recovers, or no hardening on a public-facing daemon. This generator emits a conventional [Unit]/[Service]/[Install] file with the options spelled exactly as systemd expects them.

The hardening group follows the baseline recommended for most services: no new privileges, a private tmp, a read-only system and home, and an explicit list of writable paths. Adjust ReadWritePaths to match where your app writes data, keep secrets out of Environment lines (prefer EnvironmentFile with restrictive permissions), and verify the unit with systemd-analyze verify before enabling it.
