Systemd Setup

Create a user with no login (optional)

This helps with setting restrictive permissions on the .env file and gives the service default permissions on the rest of your server unlike using root and your current user.
```
useradd -d /var/www/example.com/auth github-oauth-proxy
passwd -l github-oauth-proxy
```
Edit the service file

The user can be any user on your server, and it should match the one created in step one if created.

The file paths should match where the service is located. You may choose a directory related to your web server, but not one that it is serving as you could leak your .env file.

github-oauth-proxy.service
```
User=github-oauth-proxy
EnvironmentFile=/var/www/auth.example.com/.env
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /var/www/auth.example.com/app.js
```

Enable and start the service

The service will automatically restart on error and start on boot.

mv github-oauth-proxy.service /lib/systemd/system/
systemctl start github-oauth-proxy
systemctl enable github-oauth-proxy

The service should be live! Proceed to setting up a reverse proxy, SSL, etc.
