creating a .deb package and autorun it
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running the latest Raspbian Stretch Lite 2018-11-13.
I built a program that communicates with a LoRa chip (SX1276) using SPI, gets some data from a temperature sensor and prints the temperature on the screen.
My program consists of only one executable (apart from wiringpi library).
I was searching for a tutorial to make my program a *.deb package. Using this tutorial I managed to build a lora.deb package.
When I installed my lora.deb package sudo dpkg -i lora.deb the executable just deployed in a directory.
How can I make that package automatically run the executable and also run it every time the system boots?

Check outsystemdservice files. If your deb package contains a service file, and you add a postinstall script to your package, you can bring up a service after install automatically and on boot.

See here here for guides to writing systemd unit files, which will be used by systemd (which handles startup) to start your service.

change '/usr/bin/something' to '/directory/path/to/deployed/executable' below:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/something.service
[Unit]
Description = Something Service
After = network.target
[Service]
ExecStart = /usr/bin/something
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable something
$ systemctl start something

Thank you very much! Reading through all those sites and tutorials I came up to the solution for the whole method. First of all I need to add amyapp.serviceinto my*.debpackage, then I'll have to write a postinst script that will copy themyapp.serviceinto the proper path and enable the service. I'm not quite sure if instead of a copy you just have to add themyapp.serviceinto the*.debpackage with the proper path.
