 # Containerized Microshift 
 
+## Run microshift all-in-one as a systemd service
+
+Copy microshift-aio unit file to /etc/systemd and the aio-run to /usr/bin
+
+```bash
+cp microshift-aio.service /etc/systemd/system/microshift-aio.service
+cp microshift-aio-run /usr/bin/
+```
+Now enable and start the service. The KUBECONFIG location will be written to /etc/microshift-aio/microshift-aio.conf
+If the `microshift-vol` podman volume does not exist, the systemd service will create one.
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable microshift-aio --now
+source /etc/microshift-aio/microshift-aio.conf
+```
+
+Verify that microshift is running.
+```
+kubectl get pods -A
+```
+
+Stop microshift-aio service
+
+```bash
+systemctl stop microshift-aio
+```
+
+**NOTE** Stopping microshift-aio service _does not_ remove the podman volume `microshift-vol`.
+A restart will use the same volume.
+
 ## Build Container Image
 First copy microshift binary to this directory, then build the container image:
 ```bash
diff --git a/hack/all-in-one/microshift-aio-run b/hack/all-in-one/microshift-aio-run
new file mode 100755
