Neovim headless service

Not recommended. I suspect it once kill my RPI-5’s os.

On Ubuntu 24 ARM:

vim ~/.config/systemd/user/nvim-headless.service

[Unit]
Description=Start Neovim Headless Server

[Service]
ExecStart=nvim --headless --listen 0.0.0.0:1234
Restart=on-failure
User=<username>

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now nvim-headless

On Windows10:

C:\Users\User\Scoop\apps\git\current\usr\bin\ssh.exe <username>@<your_host> -L 1234:0.0.0.0:1234 -- /home/<your_host>/.local/bin/nvim --headless --listen 0.0.0.0:1234
neovide --server <your_host>:1234
