Run dae as a Daemon Service

systemd allows you to create and manage services in extremely powerful and flexible ways.

Note

If your distribution's service manager is provided by systemd.

dae can run as a daemon(systemd) service so that it can run at boot.

Prerequisites

Optional Geo Data Files

For more convenient traffic split, dae relies on the following data sources, geoip.dat and geosite.dat.

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/dae/
pushd /usr/local/share/dae/
curl -L -o geoip.dat https://github.com/v2ray/geoip/releases/latest/download/geoip.dat
curl -L -o geosite.dat https://github.com/v2ray/domain-list-community/releases/latest/download/dlc.dat
popd

Configuration File

Note

The config file is recommended to save under /etc/dae

Download the sample config file:

mkdir -p /etc/dae
curl -L -o /etc/dae/config.dae https://github.com/daeuniverse/dae/raw/main/example.dae

Setup

# download the sample systemd.service
sudo curl -L -o /etc/systemd/system/dae.service https://github.com/daeuniverse/dae/raw/main/install/dae.service

# reload and restart daemon to take effect
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable dae --now
