+## Systemd Unit Example
+Using the unit file below, you can run HedgeDoc as a systemd service.
+
+!!! warning
+    - In this example, you must configure HedgeDoc using the `config.json` file and the 
+    `production` key.
+    - Make sure the user and group `hedgedoc` exists and has appropriate permissions in the
+    directory you installed HedgeDoc in or change the `User` and `Group` settings in the unit
+    file.
+    - Make sure `WorkingDirectory` points to the directory you installed HedgeDoc in.
+    - Make sure `ReadWritePaths` contains all directories HedgeDoc might write to. This may
+    include the `public/uploads` folder if you configured local storage. If you use SQLite, you
+    must also include the directory where the database file is saved. **Do not save the SQLite
+    file in the root directory of the HedgeDoc installation**, but create a subfolder like `db`!
+    - If you use an external database like PostgreSQL or MariaDB, make sure to add a corresponding
+    `After` statement.
