November 21, 2020 - Now we create the service «systemd» , which will launch domoticz: service domoticz stop rm /etc/*.d/*domoticz* echo "[Unit] Description=domoticz [Service] ExecStart=/home/domotiko/domoticz/domoticz -daemon -www 8080 -sslwww 8443 -pidfile /var/run/domotiko/domoticz.pid User=domotiko RuntimeDirectory=domotiko LogsDirectory=domotiko Restart=on-abort PIDFile=/var/run/domotiko/domoticz.pid [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target " >/etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service echo "domotiko ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service domoticz.sh *,/bin/systemctl stop domoticz.service,/bin/systemctl start domoticz.service " >/etc/sudoers.d/010_domoticz chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/010_domoticz systemctl daemon-reload chown -R domotiko.domotiko domoticz systemctl enable domoticz systemctl start domoticz

Installing the service is a simple affair: create a directory and then add a short unit file in that directory. woopi@goldserver:~ $ sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service.d woopi@goldserver:~ $ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service.d/restart.conf

March 6, 2026 - When updating an existing Domoticz running on init.d, the service system will be migrated to systemd. Open the systemd configuration file, here you can change the port number you wish to use. To use a port below 1024 you can run as root (not reccomended) or you can un-comment one of the marked lines in the file - you should only un-comment one of the lines depending on your Ubuntu version : ... [Unit] Description=domoticz_service [Service] User=domoticz Group=domoticz EnvironmentFile=/home/pi/domoticz.env ExecStart=/home/domoticz/domoticz/domoticz -www 8080 -sslwww 443 WorkingDirectory=/home/domoticz # # Give the right to open priviliged ports.

May 13, 2020 - For this use case though, you probably just want to configure your application as a basic service. To do this, you'll have to create a new unit file, which you'll want to place in /etc/systemd/system/ and name with a .service extension:

April 13, 2026 - When a service is masked, this means the unit file is symlinked to /dev/null. A symlink for a masked service is created from /etc/systemd/system to point to /dev/null. This makes it impossible to load the service even if another enabled service requires it. It must be stopped manually, or it continues to run in the background.

Other than that, "I want to run a jar" might suggest you shouldn't be trying to install a service in /etc/systemd/system at all – but a user service for your current user only, into ~/.config/systemd/user, for which you don't need any special privileges at all – and thus no access to root privileges, and no sudo.

January 6, 2023 - Usually, it is considered a good practice to put these systemd service files inside the /etc/systemd/system/ directory.
