-SYSTEMD SUPPORT IN BITCOIN
-==========================
-
-Packagers can find a .service file in this repo in order to integrate bitcoin's
-daemon into systemd based distributions.
-
-bitcoind.service file is located in contrib/systemd/ folder.
-
-1. Users
----------------------------------
-
-This .service file assumes bitcoind user and group exist in the system, so packager
-should make sure they are created on installation.
-
-2. Files
----------------------------------
-
-The .service file assumes several paths that might need to be adjusted according
-to packager's needs.
-
-Daemon's config file is assumed to be located at /etc/bitcoind.conf (you can
-use contrib/debian/examples/bitcoin.conf as an example). Once installed, users
-must edit the file in order to update at least these two
-values: rpcuser and rpcpassword . Failing to do so will make the daemon fail
-to boot. However, the message written to /var/lib/bitcoind/debug.log file is
-very helpful and no default values should be set:
-
- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:DD Error: To use the "-server" option, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
- /etc/bitcoind.conf
- It is recommended you use the following random password:
- rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
- rpcpassword=HdYZ5HGtAF7mx8aTw6uCATtD2maMAK4E12Ysp4YNZQcX
- (you do not need to remember this password)
- The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
- If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
- It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
- for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Bitcoin Alert" admin@foo.com
-
-Daemon's data and pid files will be stored in /var/lib/bitcoind directory, so it
-should be created on installation and make bitcoind user/group it's owner.
-
-3. Installing .service file
----------------------------------
-
-Installing this .service file consists on just copying it to /usr/lib/systemd/system
-directory, followed by the command "systemctl daemon-reload" in order to update
-running systemd configuration.
