can't seem to start server with systemctl

naphelge · 12-29-2021, 07:18 PM

Hi,

I just installed calibre on ubuntu 20.04 to run server and although I can get it to run fine, displaying my db of books, using: `calibre-server /var/www/html/calibre/library`, when I ru: `sudo systemctl enable calibre.server` I get the following error: **failed to enable unit: Unit file calibre-server.service does not exist.**

Any ideas why?

Did you create the required scripts to allow systemctl to control calibre?

Another page I use (for other daemons) is

https://www.raspberrypi.com/document...systemd-daemon

Google will find plenty of pages about setting up systemd daemons on debian/ubuntu/etc.
