To run on the system bus you need to take some additional steps.
It’s advisable to run signal-cli as a separate unix user, the following steps assume you created a user named *signal-cli*.
These steps, executed as root, should work on all distributions using systemd.
To run a service on the system bus, a config file is needed to allow the signal-cli user to take a name on the system bus. An example config file can be found in `data/org.asamk.Signal.conf`. This file also configures that any user can talk with the signal-cli daemon.
The `data/org.asamk.Signal.service` and `data/signal.service` files configure a dbus activated systemd service for signal-cli, so the service is automatically started when the dbus service is requested.
Mind the fact that signal.service executes the signal-cli with "--config /var/lib/signal-cli".
If you registered with user signal-cli, remove the config option.
