Running as service
******************
For running BERadio as a system service, you might want to use one of the
prepared init system scripts as a blueprint. Please make sure you edit all
the important details to match your environment.

You will find appropriate installation instructions inside each file.

- For Debian-based systems, there's a systemd unit file, `beradio.service`_
- For OpenWrt/LEDE systems, there's an old-style init script, `beradio.init`_
