If you write a SlackBuild for it, we'll have one. Right now,
submissions are still closed, until 15.0 releases... but if you
have a tested/working script, you can submit it as soon as we reopen
submissions.

Does it just use systemd to start a daemon at boot? Would be simple
enough to include an rc.whatever script with your SlackBuild, or just
a set of instructions on how to start it from rc.local.
