Building 🛠️

The app can be packaged into a standalone executable using PyInstaller:

pyinstaller tray_app.spec

This will generate a dist/tray_app executable that can be run on any system with the same OS and architecture.

The PyInstaller spec file includes the app icon in the assets folder.

Systemd Service 🚦

To create a systemd service to run the tray app at startup:

1. Create a service file e.g. /etc/systemd/system/tray_app.service
2. Add the following:

   [Unit]
   Description=Tray App
   
   [Service]  
   ExecStart=/path/to/tray_app
   WorkingDirectory=/path/to/tray_app/folder
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

3. Run sudo systemctl enable tray_app to enable the service
4. Start it with sudo systemctl start tray_app

Now the tray app will run automatically on system startup.
