Start Searchd as a system service

Old docs https://docs.manticoresearch.com/latest/html/installation.html and new https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Installation/Debian_and_Ubuntu only mention:

you can start searchd server:
systemctl start manticore
To enable Manticore at boot:
systemctl enable manticore`

But I could not find in Docs what should be written in the manticore.service file. I have tried to come up with my own idea but I guess it is not completely correct:

[Unit]
Description=Manticore Searchd Service

[Service]
Type=forking
User=root
EnvironmentFile=/usr/local/manticore//usr/bin/searchd
ExecStart=/usr/local/manticore/usr/bin/searchd --config /usr/local/manticore/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf
PIDFile=/usr/local/manticore/var/run/manticore/searchd.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Unless I have missed that in the docs and would appreciate a link there. If not - a link to service file creation instruction would be beneficial for many users building from source.

Here’s RPM service file template https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch/blob/master/dist/rpm/manticore.service.in

Here’s DEB service file template https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch/blob/master/dist/deb/manticore.service.in

Thank you. Those links in the Docs would be useful too.
