I offer you my systemd service install script for Newt

[mellow65]

Greeting all, AI and myself have done our best to make a script help set up a Newt installation using systemd service on at new site.

I've done all of my testing in a proxmox container running deb12, so I haven't had a chance to expanded out from there. But it does do a check on OS and CPU and downloads the according Newt install.

The script allows for:

1. Fresh install and sets up a systemd service.
2. Update Newt Credentials for existing systemd service with a new site credentials.
3. Update Newt binary file. (doesn't do a version check, just pulls latest and replaces existing file)
4. Removes Newt and the systemd service

Do with it as you please. 😊

Thanks for putting this together and sharing! I converted this from an issue to a discussion post.

Yeah most definitely put it where it fits! I feel like Grandpa Simpsons shaking his fist at the clouds most days when dealing with github, mostly not understanding the proper flow and protocol of other peoples projects and where things go. At this point in the game I'm just happy I've made it this far with it all. 🤣

Can confirm, works on pi4 just fine also. 😉
