sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.pylons/config/config.toml

7. Set up pruning (optional).

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.pylons/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.pylons/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.pylons/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.pylons/config/app.toml

9. Create service file.

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/pylonsd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Pylons Daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which pylonsd) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

10. Enable and start service.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable pylonsd
systemctl restart pylonsd
    journalctl -u pylonsd -f -o cat
