+## systemd
+
+A hardened systemd-compatible unit file can be found in `packaging/miniserve@.service`. You could
+install this to `/etc/systemd/system/miniserve@.service` and start and enable `miniserve` as a
+daemon on a specific serve path `/my/serve/path` like this:
+
+    systemctl enable --now miniserve@-my-serve-path
+
+Keep in mind that you'll have to use `systemd-escape` to properly escape a path for this usage.
+
+In case you want to customize the particular flags that miniserve launches with, you can use
+
+    systemctl edit miniserve@-my-serve-path
+
+and set the `[Service]` part in the resulting `override.conf` file. For instance:
+
+    [Service]
+    ExecStart=/usr/bin/miniserve --enable-tar --enable-zip --no-symlinks --verbose -i ::1 -p 1234 --title Saugeland --color-scheme monokai --color-scheme-dark monokai -- %I
+
+Make sure to leave the `%I` at the very end in place or the wrong path might be served. You
+might additionally have to override `IPAddressAllow` and `IPAddressDeny` if you plan on making
+miniserve directly available on a public interface.
+
 ## Binding behavior
 
 For convenience reasons, miniserve will try to bind on all interfaces by default (if no `-i` is provided).
