A Go library that lets services install and manage themselves as system daemons across Linux (systemd, SysV, Upstart), macOS (launchd), and Windows. It provides install/remove/start/stop/status commands and signal handling for long-running Go services.
Use cases
- make my go program run as a linux daemon
- install a golang service with systemd
- add start/stop/status commands to my go service
- run a go app as a windows service
- handle SIGTERM gracefully in a daemonized go service
- self-install a go binary as a background service
When to choose
- you want a single Go binary that can install itself as a system service
- you need cross-platform daemon support (systemd, launchd, Windows services) from one library
- you want simple install/remove/start/stop/status lifecycle commands built in
When to avoid
- you need container-native process supervision (use Kubernetes or a supervisor instead)
- you need advanced service features like socket activation or health checks
- the project appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
