Running as a system service by default
======================================
Running as a system service
===========================
The Debian package comes with an init script and, by default, it starts Mopidy
as a system service running as the ``mopidy`` user which is created by the
package.
The Debian package comes with an init script. It starts Mopidy as a system
service running as the ``mopidy`` user, which is created by the package.
If you've installed Mopidy from the Debian package and don't want to use the
init script to run Mopidy as a system service, but instead just run Mopidy
manually using your own user, you need to disable the init script and stop
Mopidy by running::
The Debian package version 0.18.3-1 and older starts Mopidy as a system
service by default. Version 0.18.3-2 and newer asks if you want to run Mopidy
as a system service, defaulting to not doing so.
sudo update-rc.d -f mopidy remove
If you're running 0.18.3-2 or newer, and you've changed your mind about whether
or not to run Mopidy as a system service, just run the following command to
reconfigure the package::
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mopidy
If you're running 0.18.3-1 or older, and don't want to use the init script to
run Mopidy as a system service, but instead just run Mopidy manually using your
own user, you need to disable the init script and stop Mopidy by running::
sudo update-rc.d mopidy disable
sudo service mopidy stop
This way of disabling the system service is compatible with the improved
0.18.3-2 or newer version of the Debian package, so if you later upgrade to a
newer version, you can change your mind using the ``dpkg-reconfigure`` command
above.
