This is IMHO a very valuable contribution, thank you! Hope this gets merged soon, as quite a lot of people ask about init scripts. Can you please add a systemd service file?

i do not use SHITstemd.. sorry in any case winbuntu system easyle converts the sysvinit to the current init system running as i know so you dont need to have problems..

@o1egl i am waiting for this to be merged to continue fixin documentation cos some other changes will need interaction and will touch several files.. thanks in advance

i do not use SHITstemd..

And neither do I, but why make this emotional? Let's keep this technical.

Why should I have problems? I've been using Linux since 1998 and have no problems using it :-) Think about it: Even if you (and I) dislike systemd, the vast majority of this projects' userbase probably uses it. And the documentation should educate / benefit the users, so I proposed including an example.

That said, here's a shot at a service file. Untested, obviously.

[Unit]
Description=Filebrowser
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=<user>
Group=<group>

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/filebrowser

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

i mean that any that want that thing just use the sysvinit script and those system will automatically provide a just-in-time unit when used! as i read in debian "fights" maillist of devuan initiative XD

also for that: you can made a merge request after this are merged! i do not work with those things

Hi @o1egl i reduced and try to fix.. but please considering that it seems you are viewing all the documentation as a developer only, we need to step on the shoes of the atrgeted people that will use the program.. not as a developer that already "have basic knowledge" that are not so basic for others..

If one is able to run a cli application, I'm sure they're familiar with shell basics like nohup, etc.

Hi @o1egl resolved all exep that start must be there' for openrc.. i tested in my alpine 3.8 and i need this cos if i removed. start prefectly but rest of states never worked..

I too am interested in these changes to get OOTB daemon support. Think I found a typo.

yes.. but author and owner still are lazy on the repos.. i requested him to delegate to the others two more active users to aprove and manage commits by PR
