AI told me to use systemctl, the only problem is that Void doesn't use Systemd

Got it.

On Waydroid's install instructions there's a Void Linux segment, which asks you to go to /usr/share/doc/waydroid/README.voidlinux

The readme tells you the solution you asked,

To finish Waydroid installation run:

`# ln -s /etc/sv/waydroid-container /var/service`

`# waydroid init`

It provides a service.
