 ### journald with socket activation
 
 To run circologd as non-root, while listening on a root-owned socket (`/run/systemd/journal/syslog`) use
-socket activation
+socket activation. Create a unit in `/etc/systemd/system/circolog.service`:
+
+    [Unit]
+    Description=In-memory logging
+
+    [Service]
+    User=nobody
+    Group=nogroup
+    ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/circologd -syslogd-socket "" -buffer-size 2000 -query-socket /run/circolog/query.sock

+Then symlink the `syslog.service` unit to the newly created one:
+
+    ln -sf /etc/systemd/system/circolog.service /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service
+
+and restart the service:
+
+    systemctl daemon-reload
+    systemctl restart syslog.service
+
+Now circolog is activated and receives messages from `journald`.
