Windows Service

Universal Dashboard can be run as a Windows service. This is accomplished using NSSM. You will need to install the Universal Dashboard module in a location that the account running the service has access to.

Install-Module UniversalDashboard -Scope AllUsers

The script that you are using should specify the -Port and -Wait parameters. You can use either Start-UDDashboard or Start-UDRestApi.

Import-Module UniversalDashboard

Start-UDRestApi -Port 8080 -Endpoint @(
    New-UDEndpoint -url "user" -Method "GET" -Endpoint {
        @("test","test2","test3") | ConvertTo-Json
    }
) -Wait

To install a new service with NSSM, you can use the following command line.

 .\nssm install "Universal Dashboard" powershell.exe C:\users\adamr\desktop\dashboard.ps1
