Step 4: Manage JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8 with Systemd
As you’ve seen, we’re managing the container with the Podman command line. Let’s introduce systemd to the mix to ensure the service can be started automatically at system boot.
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/artifactory.service<<EOF
