A simple plugin for any executable Swift package that provides the ability to manage it via systemd.

To install systemd as a SwiftPM plugin, first add the following line to your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/MihaelIsaev/SwiftSystemd.git", from:"1.0.0")

The purpose of systemd is to run your app as a daemon and monitor it.

The first step is to generate the appropriate config file and save it.

swift run systemd install

It will prompt you with a few questions to generate and save the correct config file.

Or you could use parameters to predefine values

swift run systemd install -c release -t App -u mike 

It generates the following config file

[Unit]
Description="AppName"
After=network.target

[Service]
User={user}
EnvironmentFile=/path/to/AppName/.env
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/AppName
TimeoutStopSec=2

Restart=always

ExecStart=/path/to/AppName/.build/{config}/{target}

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
