# Worker Management Methods

There are several ways to start and manage the SoikaStack worker:

**Method 1: Using Systemd Service (Recommended)**

The installation script sets up a systemd service for SoikaStack, which includes the worker functionality: Worker is by default started with soikastack to start another worker folow below step. Its not recommended to start 2 workers in same server.

```
# Start the SoikaStack service (including worker)
sudo systemctl start soikastack

# Check status
sudo systemctl status soikastack

# Stop the service
sudo systemctl stop soikastack

# Restart the service
sudo systemctl restart soikastack

# Enable auto-start at boot
sudo systemctl enable soikastack
```
