Which user to use for custom Windows services?
I am using Windows Service Wrapper to convert some net programs (tor, frp, etc.) into autostart background services. It seems I can choose which user to use when launch these custom services. Coming from a Linux background, I am a little bit confused and overwhelmed by the Windows account and permission systems. I am wondering what's the best practice? Use Local System (probably not, it has very high privileges)? Local Service? Network Service? Or create separate local user account for each service? Ideally I would like to give them minimal permissions (just open and listen a few local ports, connect to the internet, read/write certain local files) and auto start them before logon. Thanks for your advice!

Launch script FIRST at startup
It's been a while since I don't do anything similar, but one of the most popular is NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) and another open and free alternative would be WinSW (Windows Service Wrapper).

Ensuring a stable bullet proof backend. How?
There are projects which wrap an existing exe file and handle the service stuff for you, for example winsw or DaemonMaster. Another option is to write the service yourself, there's a Go package for that: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc

How can I create a Windows service from an .exe?
If the program can't run directly as a service itself, you need a wrapper. Back in the day a program called NSSM was popular for this, but it's been unmaintained for many years so now you should use WinSW which is MIT-licensed, modern, actively maintained and easy to use
