How do I start localtonet automatically after restart?

Start Localtonet Automatically on System Boot

Localtonet can run as a background service and start automatically when your system boots. The same CLI commands work across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

1) Install Localtonet as a Service

Use the built-in service command to install Localtonet as a system service:

Install service

sudo localtonet --install-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

Note: - On Windows, this registers a Windows Service. - On Linux, this creates a systemd unit. - On macOS, this sets up a launchd job. Administrative privileges (sudo or “Run as Administrator”) are required.

2) Start, Stop, or Check Service Status

Start service

sudo localtonet --start-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

Stop service

sudo localtonet --stop-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

Status

sudo localtonet --status-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

Remove service

sudo localtonet --remove-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

Behavior: After installation and start, Localtonet will automatically run on each boot.

3) Verify Auto-Start

Windows: Check via services.msc → find “Localtonet” → Status = “Running”
Linux: Run systemctl status localtonet
macOS: Use launchctl list | grep localtonet

4) Update or Reinstall

To update Localtonet and restart the service:

Update steps

# stop old service
sudo localtonet --stop-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

# replace with latest binary (via installer or manual download)

# start again
sudo localtonet --start-service --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>
