Mount Filen as a systemd service

2025-12-02

This is a guide for my (future) self. To setup Filen as a systemd service, see guide below. As an example, the username we will be using is user1. [1] Create a unit file under /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for our service. Take note of the binary location and the mount point. cat >/usr/lib/systemd/system/filen-mount.service <<EOL [Unit] Description=Filen CLI Mount Service After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/home/user1/.local/bin/filen mount /home/user1/filen/ --quiet Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 User=user1 WorkingDirectory=/home/user1/ [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOL [2] Set the service to start on boot.
