Newer linux distributions are trending towards using `systemd` for managing daemons. Typically, systems based on Fedora, ArchLinux, or Debian (8 or later) use `systemd`. This includes Ubuntu releases including and after 15.04, CentOS, and Red Hat. If you are unsure if your system is using `systemd`, you may check with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ps -p 1 -o comm=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the preceding command returns the string `systemd`, you are likely using `systemd`.
|
|
|
|
If you want Home Assistant to be launched automatically, an extra step is needed to setup `systemd`. You need a service file to control Home Assistant with `systemd`. If you are using a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian then replace the `[your user]` with `pi` otherwise use your user you want to run Home Assistant. `ExecStart` contains the path to `hass` and this may vary. Check with `whereis hass` for the location.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ su -c 'cat <<EOF >> /etc/systemd/system/home-assistant@.service
|

If you've setup Home Assistant in `virtualenv` following our [python installation guide](https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/installation-virtualenv/) or [manual installation guide for raspberry pi](https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi/), the following template should work for you.

If you want to use docker, the following template should work for you.

You need to reload `systemd` to make the daemon aware of the new configuration. Enable and launch Home Assistant after that.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable home-assistant@[your user]
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start home-assistant@[your user]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything went well, `sudo systemctl start home-assistant@[your user]` should give you a positive feedback.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl status home-assistant@[your user] -l
|
|

```
|
|

|
To get Home Assistant's logging output, simple use `journalctl`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ journalctl -f -u home-assistant@[your user]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because the log can scroll quite quickly, you might want to open a second terminal to view only the errors:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ journalctl -f -u home-assistant@[your user] | grep -i 'error'
|
|
```
