When launching the twister-seeder as the root user, current implementation saves data files to the system root (/) location instead of the typically expected /root/* directory:

  • /dnsseed.dat
  • /dnsseed.dump
  • /dnsstats.log*

By using systemd to launch the service, log files will be available in the locations defined in the StandardOutput and StandardError settings

note

StandardOutput is not recommended in production, as a functioning dnsseed crawler generates massive log output!
