Hello all,

I have installed Ignition on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian and it is working great.  
I have set it to where it auto boots Ignition whenever the Pi is powered on, but am now wanting to set Ignition as a service instead of just running it.

I have created a unit file and the service itself says that it is fine, but the Ignition Gateway nevers opens.

Are there some parameters in the unit file that anyone knows that I need to add?

Running `ignition.sh install` should automatically generate a service/systemd/init.d/etc file to run Ignition as a service. On raspbian you could then (I’m pretty sure) `systemctl enable ignition` or `systemctl enable "Ignition Gateway"` until we fix the service name.
