It looks like the latest version of OpenSUSE, Leap 15, uses systemd:
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.systemd.htmlThe documentation gives a good overview of systemd and how it's used on OpenSUSE.
In order to add a service, you will need to create a "unit file" for InfluxDB, and [permanently enable](
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.systemd.html#sec.boot.systemd.basics.services_enabling) it.
We provide a [unit file for InfluxDB](
https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/scripts/influxdb.service) as part of the code repository:
```text
