Question

linux

Hello! I'm at the finish line for creating a minecraft server. I create it for the sake of interest, and to have fun with friends and remember about youth)

So, I did everything according to the lesson at the link .

I enter the necessary commands, and I get an error:

[[email protected] ~]# systemctl daemon-reload

Answer 1

Many people have problems with the daemon, I advise you to use screen (no).
Install pm2
Write a sh script that starts the server.
And run this sh via pm2.
Save the config and do an autoload at system startup, you're done. You can consider this an analogue of systemctl =)

Answer 2

Write WorkingDirectory with the path to the directory where server.jar is located.
