+# Advanced Post-installation Tasks
+
+This page explains some advanced tasks and configuration options that can be performed after the bot installation and may be uselful in some environments.
+
+If you do not know what things mentioned here mean, you probably do not need it.
+
+## Configure the bot running as a systemd service
+
+Copy the `freqtrade.service` file to your systemd user directory (usually `~/.config/systemd/user`) and update `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart` to match your setup.
+
+After that you can start the daemon with:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user start freqtrade
+```
+
+For this to be persistent (run when user is logged out) you'll need to enable `linger` for your freqtrade user.
+
+```bash
+sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
+```
+
+If you run the bot as a service, you can use systemd service manager as a software watchdog monitoring freqtrade bot 
+state and restarting it in the case of failures. If the `internals.sd_notify` parameter is set to true in the 
+configuration or the `--sd-notify` command line option is used, the bot will send keep-alive ping messages to systemd 
+using the sd_notify (systemd notifications) protocol and will also tell systemd its current state (Running or Stopped) 
+when it changes. 
+
+The `freqtrade.service.watchdog` file contains an example of the service unit configuration file which uses systemd 
+as the watchdog.
+
+!!! Note
+    The sd_notify communication between the bot and the systemd service manager will not work if the bot runs in a Docker container.
