system-bridge backend

Running as a Service

Linux (systemd)

⚠️

Not supported with AppImage or Flatpak. You will need to configure the service manually to the correct path.

  1. Copy the systemd service file to the systemd directory:
sudo cp .scripts/linux/system-bridge.service /etc/systemd/system/
  1. Reload systemd daemon:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  1. Enable the service to start on boot:
sudo systemctl enable system-bridge
  1. Start the service:
sudo systemctl start system-bridge
  1. Check the service status:
sudo systemctl status system-bridge

Windows (service installation)

  1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
  2. Navigate to the directory containing the installation scripts
  3. Run the installation script:
.\scripts\windows\install-service.ps1
  1. To uninstall the service:
.\scripts\windows\uninstall-service.ps1

Token

The token is essential to connect to the API/WebSocket. You can get it using the CLI command:

system-bridge client token

Alternatively, you can find your Token in the application startup logs when running the backend. The logs will show “Your API token is” followed by your token value.
