 ===== Configuring this as a service =====
 Next we'll configure a ''systemd'' service to make sure this script is always running and ready to accept connections.
-//todo write block describing adding a service to run this script//
+I created this file as a "user" service, as ''~/.config/systemd/user/rick.service'', but it should probably run as a system service:
+<code>
+# service for RRoAX25 server
+# replace USER with the username under which you created the bpq-apps venv
+[Unit]
+Description="RRoAX25 service"
+After=network.target
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+WorkingDirectory=/home/USER/.local/bpq-apps/
+ExecStart=/home/USER/.local/bpq-apps/bin/python /home/USER/.local/bpq-apps/scripts/rick.py -p 10001 -f /home/USER/.local/bpq-apps/data/messages.json
+Restart=always
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+</code>
+Activate it by running:
+<code>
+systemctl --user enable rick.service
+systemctl --user start rick.service
+</code>
+Then check the status to confirm it is working:
+<code>
+systemctl --user status rick.service
+</code>
+If you need to edit the service file, reload it with:
+<code>
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+</code>
