Nimbus book: Adjust Raspberry Pi guide to suggest using a service file / init script #2177

Closed kdeme closed 3 years ago

kdeme commented 3 years ago

The Raspberry pi guide (https://status-im.github.io/nimbus-eth2/pi-guide.html) currently explains running nimbus-eth2 with screen.

It should be made clear that running it with screen or tmux should be done for (initial) testing & debugging. For actually long term running the eth2 client a service file (or the good old init scripts) should be suggested. This way reboots / crashes / etc. also restart the eth2 client.

I think this is currently not clear and new users might not realize this.

Closing this as https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2181 took mostly care of this.
