Systemd service for Console

Systemd script for Console.

Installation

• Systemd script is configured to run /usr/local/bin/silo-console.
• Systemd script is configured to run the binary as console-user. DEB/RPM/APK packages create this system user automatically (preinstall.sh); for manual installations, create it yourself before using the service script.
• Release binaries and packages are available from the release page. Source builds remain available through the README.
• DEB and RPM packages currently retain the compatibility service name /etc/systemd/system/minio-console.service; renaming it requires a package migration. Manual installations below use console.service.
• Packages also install a configuration template at /etc/default/console (from console.env, marked as config/noreplace so upgrades keep your edits).

When building from source, install the local development binary under the release name expected by the service:

sudo install -m 0755 ./console /usr/local/bin/silo-console
