Running with Systemd

One way of running your robot is to use a systemd unit file on a systemd-managed Linux host:

• Copy resources/robot.service to /etc/systemd/system/<botname>.service and edit with values for your system; you'll need to create a local user, and a directory for your robot that the user can write to
• Reload systemd with systemctl daemon-reload
• Enable the service with systemctl enable <botname>
• Place your robot's .env in the robot's home directory, mode 0400, owned by the robot user; you can leave GOPHER_PROTOCOL commented out, since the value should be set in the <botname>.service file
• Start the service: systemctl start <botname>

That's it! Your robot should start and connect to your team chat.
