Avoid daemon forking with systemd
systemd units allow to run processes in foreground while daemonization is done on systemd service level when using Type=simple (default). This allows systemd to reliably track the service state, signals and could catch outputs, i.e. it is possible to remove "--quiet" to have Tautulli logging to systemd journal (journalctl) additionally or alternatively to log files.

In case of Type=forking, a PID file is required to allow system reliably determine the service state, which would be an alternative, but has no real advantage. The solution with "GuessMainPID=no" allows systemd to correctly determine the service active state, but e.g. when it is killed, it is seen as "Succeeded." since systemd cannot track the exit code or signal.

# Tautulli - Stats for Plex Media Server usage
#
# Service Unit file for systemd system manager
#
# INSTALLATION NOTES
#
# 1. Copy this file into your systemd service unit directory (often '/lib/systemd/system')
# and name it 'tautulli.service' with the following command:
# cp /opt/Tautulli/init-scripts/init.systemd /lib/systemd/system/tautulli.service
#
# 2. Edit the new tautulli.service file with configuration settings as required.
# More details in the "CONFIGURATION NOTES" section shown below.
#
# 3. Enable boot-time autostart with the following commands:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable tautulli.service
#
# 4. Start now with the following command:
# systemctl start tautulli.service
#
# CONFIGURATION NOTES
#
# - The example settings in this file assume that you will run Tautulli as user: tautulli
# - The example settings in this file assume that Tautulli is installed to: /opt/Tautulli
#
# - To create this user and give it ownership of the Tautulli directory:
# 1. Create the user:
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo addgroup tautulli && sudo adduser --system --no-create-home tautulli --ingroup tautulli
# CentOS/Fedora: sudo adduser --system --no-create-home tautulli
# 2. Give the user ownership of the Tautulli directory:
# sudo chown -R tautulli:tautulli /opt/Tautulli
#
# - Adjust ExecStart= to point to:
# 1. Your Python interpreter (get the path with "command -v python3")
# - Default: /usr/bin/python3
# 2. Your Tautulli executable
# - Default: /opt/Tautulli/Tautulli.py
# 3. Your config file (recommended is to put it somewhere in /etc)
# - Default: --config /opt/Tautulli/config.ini
# 4. Your datadir (recommended is to NOT put it in your Tautulli exec dir)
# - Default: --datadir /opt/Tautulli
#
# - Adjust User= and Group= to the user/group you want Tautulli to run as.
#
# - WantedBy= specifies which target (i.e. runlevel) to start Tautulli for.
# multi-user.target equates to runlevel 3 (multi-user text mode)
# graphical.target equates to runlevel 5 (multi-user X11 graphical mode)
