Run as service
There are several solutions to run Wiki.js as a background service. We'll focus on systemd in this guide as it's available in nearly all linux distributions.
Create a new file named wiki.service inside directory /etc/systemd/system.
nano /etc/systemd/system/wiki.service
Paste the following contents (assuming your wiki is installed at /var/wiki):
[Unit]
Description=Wiki.js
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node server
Restart=always
# Consider creating a dedicated user for Wiki.js here:
User=nobody
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/var/wiki
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save the service file (CTRL+X, followed by Y).
Reload systemd:
systemctl daemon-reload
Run the service:
systemctl start wiki
Enable the service on system boot.
systemctl enable wiki
Note: You can see the logs of the service using journalctl -u wiki
