To generate your certificate, simply provide your domain in the Overview section of your VPSmini management panel.

In order to add a service on boot, we are using our own CLI tool called servicectl.

It is as easy to use as this:

sudo servicectl -e <service_name>

(Make sure the service is already running first with service <service_name> start)

So for mariadb, it would be:

sudo servicectl -e mariadb

To get more information on how to use servicectl, you can always display the full help:

sudo servicectl -h
Usage:

      --enable, -e [service]         Enable a service
      --disable, -d [service]        Disable a service
      --start, -s                    Start all enabled services
      --list, -l                     List all enabled services
      --help, -h                     Display this help message

||| servicectl is a Custom Wrapper that we have created to allow you to add on boot service to you containerized operating system. Servicectl is not the same as service or systemctl.

Creating and Managing Custom Services

Creating custom services allows you to run your own scripts or applications as services.

|| Our VPSmini doesn't use Systemd, we are using System V init scripts.

Creating a Custom SysVinit Service

source

Create the Init Script:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/myservice

Add Script Content:

```
