Running

Application

You can run the application from the shortcut in your start menu / applications called System Bridge.

Linux

Linux users can also run the application from the terminal. This is useful for debugging and reporting startup issues.

system-bridge

Autostart

To enable autostart, open settings via the system tray icon, enable autostart and click the save icon. The application will now be added to startup.

No GUI / Headless

If you want to run the application without a GUI, you can use the following command:

system-bridge --no-gui

Systemd Service

Here is an example systemd service. This runs as root, so you will need to have run the install commands as root for this to run.

[Unit]
Description=System Bridge
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/system-bridge --no-gui
User=username
Restart=on-abort
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Token

The token is essential to connect to the API/WebSocket. You can copy this using the tray menu, or reading the logs after starting the application (useful if running headless or with --no-gui).

You can also use the CLI which is provided by the systembridgecli package which you will need to install Python first before

python -m pip install --upgrade systembridgecli
python -m systembridgecli token
