# Best Practices

1. **Auto-start at boot**: Enable the systemd service to start automaticallyCopysudo systemctl enable soikastacksudo systemctl status soikastacksudo systemctl start soikastack
2. **Monitor GPU resources**: Keep an eye on GPU memory and utilizationCopywatch -n 1 nvidia-smi
3. **Regular updates**: Keep SoikaStack and NVIDIA drivers updated
4. **Security**: Use token authentication rather than password authentication when possible
5. **Resource limits**: Consider setting memory limits to prevent OOM errorsCopysudo nano /etc/systemd/system/soikastack.service# Add: MemoryLimit=16Gsudo systemctl daemon-reload
