🔄Switching from tmux to service

If you have been running your node via a tmux session (previous version of this guide), but now would like to run it as a service for flexibility, here is what you can do.

Kill your tmux session

tmux kill-session -t quil

Run the below script

Follow the Safety checks before running this script in your server

wget --no-cache -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lamat1111/QuilibriumScripts/master/qnode_service_update.sh | bash

The script simply check for new node updates, then creates a service file with the right configurations and starts it for you. You can inspect the code here

When the script finishes, you will start seeing your node log. Press CTRL+C to stop it (this won't stop your node, just the view of the log).

---

Extra step

Delete your cronjob, if you have one, for starting the node automatically after a reboot. The service will now take care of this automatically.

crontab -e

If you are prompted to choose an editor, choose "nano". Delete the cronjob starting with @reboot, in case you have more than one. Then save with CTRL + X, then Y, then ENTER.
