Setting up a service on void linux

[VoidAlone]

There are instructions in the wiki for starting a service assuming that you're using systemd.

In the case of void linux, which uses runit, what would be the best approach for setting up a service (user or system service)?

Sorry for taking so long to answer. It's been a long since time since I last tried Void and I don't exactly remember how runit works, but starting spotifyd should be as easy as running spotifyd --no-daemon within the run file (the --no-daemon makes sure that spotifyd doesn't fork into background and is managed by the service manager).

Hey thanks for your reply! This is exactly what I ended up doing. I'm running i3, and it's probably a bad place to put it, but I added exec spotifyd --no-daemon to my i3 config. Sorry for the potentially pointless question, I'm new to linux and learning a lot all at once, but hopefully this will be useful for another noob in the future.
