Running as a service

Every operating system has different ways of running services. Immudb provides a facility called immudb service to hide this complexity.

To install the service run:

immudb service install

This will for example, on Linux, install /etc/systemd/system/immudb.service and create the appropriate user to run the service. On other operating systems, the native method would be used.

The immudb service command also allows to control the lifecycle of the service:

immudb service start
immudb service stop
immudb service status

On Linux, immudb service status is equivalent to systemctl status immudb.service, and is what it does under the hoods.
