Description

I would like to use the [configparser](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/configparser.html) library in python to generate systemd services in the install process. This would depend on how issue #2 decides to handle the install process. If the install scripts are written in bash, we could make a python install script that when passes some parameters can easily generate systemd files. currently there are templates for systemd services in client and server folders.

Going this route will allow us to have a much more customizable install in less code then if we tried to do it in another language such as bash.

Research direction

Review issue #2 first, since the install-process decision determines whether a Python installer is appropriate. Then inspect the existing systemd service templates in the client and server folders and determine how install parameters should generate customizable service files; done means both services can be generated during installation.
