It's the working directory (cwd) of the spawned process. In this case if you set it to the directory your data is in, you can use relative paths to the db (and metadata/templates/etc) in the `ExecStart` command.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",459397625,

I wasn't even aware it was possible to add a systemd service at an arbitrary path, but it seems a little messy to me.

Maybe worth noting that systemd does support [per-user services](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User) which don't require root access. Cool but probably overkill for most people (especially when you're going to need root to listen on port 80 anyway, directly or via a reverse proxy).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",459397625,

Example systemd unit file (save to `/etc/systemd/system/datasette.service`):
```
[Unit]
Description=Datasette
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=<username>
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/data
ExecStart=/path/to/datasette serve -h 0.0.0.0 ./my.db
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Activate it with:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable datasette
$ sudo systemctl start datasette
```

Logs are best viewed using `journalctl -u datasette -f`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",459397625,
