Deploying mihomo on Linux with systemd

On a Linux server, NAS or dev box, systemd is the cleanest way to keep mihomo alive: start at boot, restart on crash, logs in one place.

Deployment steps

1. Download the binary for your architecture (amd64 or arm64), gunzip it to /usr/local/bin/mihomo and chmod +x
2. Place your subscription yaml at /etc/mihomo/config.yaml
3. Create /etc/systemd/system/mihomo.service with ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mihomo -d /etc/mihomo
4. Run systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable --now mihomo

Day-two operations

• Status: systemctl status mihomo
• Live logs: journalctl -u mihomo -f
• After config edits: systemctl restart mihomo

Using it

Point other devices' HTTP/SOCKS proxy at the server's port 7890 to share the tunnel; add external-controller and a web dashboard to switch nodes remotely.
