WeTTY can be run as a daemon on your service init confs and systemd services are bundled with the npm package to make this easier.
$ npm -g i wetty
$ sudo cp ~/.node_modules/wetty/conf/wetty.conf /etc/init
$ sudo start wetty
$ yarn global add wetty
$ cp ~/.node_modules/wetty/conf/wetty.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
$ systemctl --user enable wetty
$ systemctl --user start wetty
This will start WeTTY on port 3000. If you want to change the port or redirect
stdout/stderr you should change the last line in wetty.conf
file, something
like this:
exec sudo -u root wetty -p 80 >> /var/log/wetty.log 2>&1
Systemd requires an absolute path for a unit’s WorkingDirectory, consquently
$HOME
will need updating to an absolute path in the wetty.service
file.
