Run Adon Core Wallet as a service on Linux

2021-11-01 Knowledge Base

The Adon Core Wallet can be setup as a service on Linux to start automatically when the server starts.

Create the service definition file as /lib/systemd/system/ADONd.service

Put the following content in the file. Make sure you customize the user (set to ADON-user in the example below, and the path to the ADONd binary)

# It is not recommended to modify this file in-place, because it will
# be overwritten during package upgrades. If you want to add further
# options or overwrite existing ones then use
# $ systemctl edit ADONd.service
# See "man systemd.service" for details.
#
# Note that almost all daemon options could be specified in
# /home/ADON-user/.ADON/ADON.conf
