Review the paths, user and ExecStart before enabling. Units live in /etc/systemd/system/ and need root to install.

About this tool

IconVault's systemd Generator builds a complete .service unit file from a simple form, so you never hand-write systemd syntax again. Fill in the service name, Description, Type, ExecStart (plus optional ExecStop and ExecReload), User, Group and WorkingDirectory, choose a Restart policy like on-failure, and watch a live preview of the exact unit file update as you type.

The tool also covers the parts most tutorials skip: an environment variables editor and one-click security hardening toggles (NoNewPrivileges, PrivateTmp, ProtectSystem, ProtectHome and more). Everything runs fully in your browser, is free to try (repeat use may ask for Pro), and outputs a ready-to-save file with the daemon-reload and enable commands you need to install it. Always review paths and the ExecStart command before enabling a unit on a real server.
