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 after ollama.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.
