Automatically starting Unmanic​

You may wish to automatically start Unmanic when you PC starts.

This can be achieved in a few ways:

Run the following commands as root

mkdir -p \
/usr/local/lib/systemd/system \
/opt/unmanic

chown -R nobody:video /opt/unmanic

cat << EOF > /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/unmanic.service
[Unit]
Description= Unmanic - Library Optimiser
After=network-online.target
StartLimitInterval=200

User=nobody
Group=video
Environment="HOME_DIR=/opt/unmanic"
WorkingDirectory=/opt/unmanic
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/unmanic
Restart=always

[Install]

systemctl enable unmanic.service
systemctl start unmanic.service

This example runs unmanic as the user:group nobody:video. Make sure that your library is accessible by this group.

Alternatively, if you already have a user:group configured for accessing your library, modify the above systemd unit with those details.
