Hello all, Rather stumped with this one. Trying to install Lemmy, and getting the below error after running systemctl status lemmy … The full error is below :

 root@lemmy:/etc/systemd# systemctl status lemmy.service
● lemmy.service - Lemmy - A link aggregator for the fediverse

If anyone could assist, I’d be more than appreciative. So far these logs don’t seem to point to where to look for the issue even.

        What happens if you try to run Lemmy without systemd, just to test it out?

        So, stop Lemmy first with systemctl stop lemmy.service and then run it directly with /usr/bin/lemmy_server ?

        If you don’t get sufficient logs, you can also do:

        RUST_LOG=info lemmy_server or RUST_LOG=verbose lemmy_server

          it can’t even find /usr/bin/lemmy_server to run it… maybe thats where the problem is? lol

            Well, it looks to me that you’re doing the install from scratch. So if /usr/bin/lemmy_server is missing, you dungoofed.
