# Run as a linux system process
|
|
|
|
Docker makes it easy to spin up and down environments but it's also possible to run `nostr-rs-relay` as a systemd linux process.
|
|
This guide assumes you're on a Linux machine and that Rust is already installed.
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
### Build nostr-rs-relay from source
|
|
Start by building the application from source. Here is how to do that:
|
|
1. `git clone https://github.com/scsibug/nostr-rs-relay.git`
|
|
2. `cd nostr-rs-relay`
|
|
3. `cargo build --release`
|
|
|
|
### Place the files where they belong
|
|
We want to place the nostr-rs-relay binary and the config.toml file where they belong. While still in the root level of the nostr-rs-relay folder you cloned in last step, run the following commands:
|
|
1. `sudo cp target/release/nostr-rs-relay /usr/local/bin/`
|
|
2. `sudo mkdir /etc/nostr-rs-relay`
|
|
2. `sudo cp config.toml /etc/nostr-rs-relay`
|
|
|
|
### Create the Systemd service file
|
|
We need to create a new Systemd service file. These files are placed in the `/etc/systemd/system/` folder where you will find many other services running.
|
|
|
|
1. `sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/nostr-rs-relay.service`
|
|
2. Paste in the contents of [this service file](../contrib/nostr-rs-relay.service). Remember to replace the `User` value with your own username.
|
|
3. Save the file and exit your text editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Run the service
|
|
To get the service running, we need to reload the systemd daemon and enable the service.
|
|
|
|
1. `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
|
|
2. `sudo systemctl start nostr-rs-relay.service`
|
|
3. `sudo systemctl status nostr-rs-relay.service`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Tips
|
|
|
|
#### Logs
|
|
The application will write logs to the journal. To read it, execute `sudo journalctl -f -u nostr-rs-relay`
