How to create a service on OSMC

As far as i know the only services showing under MyOSMC/Services are services installed by Appstore. And such your “selfmade” service isn’t listed there. I do agree that it would be a good thing to be able to start and stop some services from GUI, but where should we draw the line. If you stop the wrong service you could create a unstable system.

This might something for @sam_nazarko to look at when he gets some spare time

sudo -s
echo -e "ServiceName\nservicefile.service" > /etc/osmc/apps.d/some-service

Why am I still suprised that you made it so easy by design, great job Sam. Works great for my Minecraft service

The App Store and Service modules are built with expansion in mind.

Unfortunately the App Store architecture on the server was limiting and as such the number of Apps remains limited. This will be resolved soon (a few months) and we will have a much larger App Store then.

Stay tuned for testing.
