+You can also run the rust daemon as a user own process.
+This means, that the user itself is able to start/stop the instance without sudo rights.
+
+Usually user services are started during the first login and stopped when
+then last session closes. To prevent this, make the user session available during bootup
+
+
+  # su 
+  # loginctl enable-linger rust
+  # exit

+  # sed -i -e 's|multi-user.target|default.target|' rustmyserver.service

+Copy the service file to the systemd user folder:

+
+To enable the Userservice rustmyserver.service for startup run:
