Supply a example systemd file

Provide a dcrpool.service file

[logicminds]

I used the following as a guide to craft up my systemd files. YMMV. I have dcrpool running from a non-privileged account and systemd will still start it up and use an iptables rule to forward port 443 to 8080 (default). These configs are part of my test pool so I will be making these better as time allows. But for now this appears to work. Note: I added the output redirection config as all these services still dump messages to stdout for some reason. I don't know why as I assumed systemd would have redirected all the output.

I created one file for each service (dcrwallet, dcrd, dcrpool). Just note that dcrd and dcrwallet don't use homedir switch and instead use appdata switch. I also moved the dcr binaries to /usr/local/bin directory.

/etc/systemd/system/dcrwallet.service /etc/systemd/system/dcrd.service /etc/systemd/system/dcrpool.service

Iptables setup

eth0 may not be present on your system.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
iptables-save > /etc/network/iptables.up.rules
iptables-apply

Enabled the services

systemctl enable dcrwallet.service systemctl enable dcrd.service systemctl enable dcrpool.service

Started the services

systemctl start dcrwallet.service systemctl start dcrd.service systemctl start dcrpool.service
