@bryanredeagle I use pyenv for installing specific python versions for for different projects, and venv for creating virtual environments, if a project need to run in the background, i have two methods, depending the case For example, after installing pyenv: pyenv install 3.13.7 pyenv shell 3.13.7 python -m venv /home/auser/project source /home/auser/project/bin/activate cd /home/auser/project pip install apackage python aproject.py For running in the background, after installing screen: screen -dmS projectname /bin/bash -c "source /home/auser/project/bin/activate && cd /home/auser/project && python aproject.py --paramsifrequired" And for viewing such screen: screen -r projectname CTRL+C for stopping the screen CTRL+A next CTRL+D for screen detach and returning to the console In a systemd service with a virtual env: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/aservice.service paste: [Unit] Description=A service for a server [Service] Type=simple #User=auser ExecStart=/home/auser/project/bin/python aproject.py WorkingDirectory=/home/auser/project TimeoutSec=60 StandardOutput=journal StandardError=journal SyslogIdentifier=aproject Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target CTRL+S for saving and CTRL+X for closing nano sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable aservice && sudo systemctl start aservice && journalctl -feu aservice Hope this helps you
