Installing the VOX 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

The server uses only the Python standard library.

sudo apt install python3

2. Install the systemd unit

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

3. Verify

systemctl status vox-tts-server
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:33003/health

The health endpoint should return ok.

Managing the service

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