Now you can enable and start the zettelstore as a service:\n```sh\n# sudo systemctl daemon-reload\n# sudo systemctl enable zettelstore\n# sudo systemctl start zettelstore\n```\nUse the commands ``systemctl``{=sh} and ``journalctl``{=sh} to manage the service, e.g.:\n```sh\n# sudo systemctl status zettelstore  # verify that it is running\n# sudo journalctl -u zettelstore     # obtain the output of the running zettelstore\n```"))
