Levente has just (very recently) set this up to run on our new
Hetzner box. I am attaching a copy of the configuration files, which
can probably be adapted to run your local personal squeaksource.

The files that I am attaching are:

1) service.sh - This is the start script that lives in your home directory
for squeaksource. It replaces the ./run script that was previously used
for daemontools.  On our source.squeak.org server, the home directory for
squeaksource is located at /home/squeaksource/webserver/ so the file is
named /home/squeaksource/webserver/service.sh.

2) source-squeak-org.service - This is that actual systemd
configuration file. On our source.squeak.org server, it is installed
as /etc/systemd/system/source-squeak-org.service. 

3) service.tgz - Archive file in case you need an exact copy of the files.
These are copied relative to the root / of the file system, just for
reference. Unpack with "tar xzvf services.tgz" in some suitable empty
directory.

You can probably do the same thing on your own local squeaksource system.
If it works, then Levente gets the credit. If it does not work, then
blame me.

HTH,
Dave
