Running Unattended: the Service Command
1 min14.7Operate
start runs in the foreground, useful for a first test. To run 24/7,
parallelix-node service --node-id <id> [--gpu|--cpu] installs the node
as a managed background service that survives logout and reboot and
auto-restarts on crash:
- Linux: writes
/etc/systemd/system/parallelix-node.service(ordered afterollama.service,Restart=always) and enables it. Logs:journalctl -u parallelix-node -f. Stop:sudo systemctl stop parallelix-node. - macOS: writes
~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.parallelix.node.plist(RunAtLoad,KeepAlive) and loads it. Logs:~/.parallelix/node.out.log. Stop:launchctl unload …/io.parallelix.node.plist.
On Windows the service command is unavailable; run the node inside WSL2, where the Linux path applies.
