+# Systemd Integration
+
+These instructions assume that you have followed the [Installation instruction](https://boringproxy.io/#installation) and installed the boringproxy binary to `/usr/local/bin/`
+
+If you install the binary to a different path you will need to update the path in the service files.
+
+---
+
+## BoringProxy Server Service
+This service file along with the assumptions above assumes that you will run the initial launch of the server from the `/root` directory as the `root` user.
+
+Download the boringproxy-server.service file
+```bash
+# with wget
+sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boringproxy/boringproxy/master/scripts/boringproxy-server.service -O /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service
+
+# or with curl
+sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boringproxy/boringproxy/master/scripts/build.sh --output /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service
+```
+
+Edit `/etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service` and replace the admin domain `bp.example.com` with the domain that the server will be available at. EX: `-admin-domain proxy.bpuser.me`
+
+Enable and start the boringproxy server service with the following command
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable --now boringproxy-server.service
+```
+
+This will make sure that boringproxy server will always start backup if the host is restarted.
+
+---
+
+## BoringProxy Client Service
+
+Download the boringproxy-client@.service file
+```bash
+# with wget
+sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boringproxy/boringproxy/master/scripts/boringproxy-client%40.service -O "/etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-client@.service"
+
+# or with curl
+sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boringproxy/boringproxy/master/scripts/boringproxy-client%40.service --output "/etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-client@.service"
+```
+
+Edit `/etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-client@.service` and replace the server address `bp.example.com` with the domain that the server is located at. EX: `-server proxy.bpuser.me`
+
+also edit the token value `your-bp-server-token` with the token from when you installed the server. EX: `-token rt42g.......3fn`
+
+Enable and start the boringproxy server service with the following command
+```bash
+# the value after the @ symbol in the service name is what will determine the name of the client in the Admin UI
+sudo systemctl enable --now boringproxy-client@default.service
+```
+
+This will make sure that boringproxy client will always start backup and reconnect to the boringclient server if the host is restarted or goes down for some reason.
+
+### Notes
+
+This systemd service file is a template service which allows you to spawn multiple clients with a specified name. 
+
+If you do not need/want the ability to launch multiple clients with a single service file and do not want to have to specify `boringproxy-client@<client-name>.service` when interacting with the service, rename the service file to `boringproxy-client.service` and remove the `%I` from the `Description` field and replace the `%i` after `-client-name` with the name you want the client to have. after those modifications you can use the service as `boringproxy-client.service` 
+

+
+## Using a user other than root
+
+As good practice tells us we really should not run services as the root user. If you would like to follow these best practices the service file `User`, `Group`, and `WorkingDirectory` values will need to be updated.
+
+The below commands will setup and fix the service file to use a user besides root
+```bash
+# create the system users homedir - This is needed as you need a place to store the `boringproxy_db.json` file
+sudo mkdir -pv /opt/boringproxy
+
+# create the system user - We are using a system user as we don't want regular user permissions assigned since all it is going to be doing is running boringproxy for us. We also specify the shell as /bin/false so that nothing can login as this user just incase.
+sudo useradd -d /opt/boringproxy -m --system --shell /bin/false boringproxy
+
+# If you have already launched the boringproxy server you need to move the db file to keep your settings
+# mv /root/boringproxy_db.json /opt/boringproxy/boringproxy_db.json
+
+# Set the permissions just to make sure especially if you have moved the db file into the directory.
+sudo chown boringproxy:boringproxy -R /opt/boringproxy
+# You can also lock down the directory even further with the following if your somewhat paranoid
+# chmod 700 /opt/boringproxy
+
+# update the service files to use the new user, group, and user home directory
+# Server Service
+sed -i "s/^User=.*/User=boringproxy/" /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service
+sed -i "s/^Group=.*/Group=boringproxy/" /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service
+sed -i "s/^WorkingDirectory=.*/WorkingDirectory=/opt/boringproxy/" /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-server.service
+# Client Service
+sed -i "s/^User=.*/User=boringproxy/" /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-client\@.service
+sed -i "s/^Group=.*/Group=boringproxy/" /etc/systemd/system/boringproxy-client\@.service
+```
