Isn't that one command on FreeBSD?

  chdir z && daemon -u y -o blah.log x

I seem to remember having problems with daemon, but I can't remember what they were exactly. The Jail is gone now, so I can't look at the end result to see what I ended up with. By all accounts, this command should do exactly what I need though.

I probably ended up with something like this[0], which doesn't use daemon. Home Assistant also provides a FreeNAS example[1] which uses daemon.

For comparison, the systemd unit file that I ended up with is:

    [Unit]
    Description=Home Assistant
    After=network.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    Restart=always
    ExecStart=/home/hass/homeassistant/bin/python /home/hass/homeassistant/bin/hass
    WorkingDirectory=/home/hass
    User=hass
    Group=hass
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
