Installing the DECTalk TTS Server as a system service

These steps install the server as a systemd service that starts on boot and restarts automatically if it crashes. Commands that need root are shown with sudo; run them in your own terminal.

1. Install prerequisites

sudo apt install ffmpeg nodejs npm

2. Install node dependencies

cd /home/owen/dectalk-tts-server
npm install

3. Install the systemd unit

sudo cp /home/owen/dectalk-tts-server/dectalk-tts-server.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now dectalk-tts-server

4. Verify

systemctl status dectalk-tts-server
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:33001/health

The health endpoint should return {"status":"ok"}.

Managing the service

sudo systemctl restart dectalk-tts-server
sudo systemctl stop dectalk-tts-server
journalctl -u dectalk-tts-server -f
