Actually, here's what I've got in `/etc/systemd/system/datasette.service`

```
[Unit]
Description=Datasette
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=chris
WorkingDirectory=/home/chris/digital-library
ExecStart=/home/chris/Env/datasette/lib/python3.7/site-packages/datasette serve -h 0.0.0.0 databases/*.db --cors --metadata metadata.json
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

I ran: 
```
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable datasette
$ sudo systemctl start datasette
```
Then I ran:
`$ journalctl -u datasette -f`

Got this message.

> It's the working directory (cwd) of the spawned process. In this case if you set it to the directory your data is in, you can use relative paths to the db (and metadata/templates/etc) in the `ExecStart` command.

In my case, on a remote server, I set up a virtual environment in `/home/chris/Env/datasette`, and when I activated that environment I ran `pip install datasette`. 

My datasette project is in `/home/chris/datatsette-project`, so I guess I'd use that directory in the `WorkingDirectory` parameter?

And the `ExecStart` parameter would be `/home/chris/Env/datasette/lib/python3.7/site-packages/datasette serve -h 0.0.0.0 my.db` I'm guessing?
