Hi,
I successfully installed Home Assistant but even after having run it with the --daemon option I discovered that Home Assistant does not start back automatically after a reboot.
How to be sure getting HA running automatically on a Debian OS ?
Sincerely thanks.

You’ll want to configure systemd to start it for you. See https://home-assistant.io/docs/autostart/systemd/ for details.
I used Hassbian to install. Do I use that link as well?
edit: I have no idea what it is asking me to do there. The command
ps -p 1 -o comm=
came back systemd
After that, that whole page looks like a different language. I can’t get HA to run after shutting it down.
Yep.
Cool, so that means you can follow the rest of the directions in that article. It guides you through creating a text file on the system so that systemd will launch Home Assistant for you on boot.
How do you start it without autostart? I can’t figure it out anywhere?
edit: https://home-assistant.io/docs/hassbian/common-tasks/
Got it, though I can’t get it to start. Mildly frustrated. Wil keep plugging away.
edit: Got it going. Thanks.
Dear Odd-Bloke and others,
if I well understood I have to use the template file and name it “home-assistant@[your user].service” (where your user must be the user that will run home assistant.
And I have to put this file in the folder : “/etc/systemd/system/”.
Then I still have some questions :
Am I right with what I mentionned here before for the name an folder ?
Why not using “root” as “[your user]” in place of a classic user ?
which rights (-rw-r–r--) must be set on this file (“home-assistant@[your user].service”) ?
after having do all explained in this link (https://home-assistant.io/docs/autostart/systemd/) and tested (without success ton connecte tha IP:8123) I checked the status and received this feedback :
sudo systemctl status home-assistant@homeassistant

Then how to get it work normally and after a reboot ?
Sincerely thanks.

P.S. : I just tested now to run the command “hass” as a classic used and the IP:8123 then displayed the “IP:8123/states” page but in the command line ( where I ran the “hass”) I got those feedback

Hi,
a part of my mistake even I find it must come from documentation. I explain.
It was later after reading documentation that I found I have to add the user homeassistant.
I first tried with [YourUser] as explained in the documentation (because I first did not used homeassistant as MyUser. Then it confused me and it was only when I created homeassistant (user) that HA was able to run back after automatic reboot.
Sincerely thanks for everyone for your help.
Have a nice day.
