So I followed this youtube video on setting up RTL-433 service on a Ubuntu server. Problem is, it seems to keep failing after a while. Sometimes doing a systemctl start service doesn’t work and I will have to reboot the system and then it will work. It will work for a while and later in the day it will suddenly stop. Sometimes I can do a systemctl start, but sometimes not.

Anyone know how I can have this service constantly up and running, and restart if it fails?

    I second journalctl -f -u SERVICE_NAME.service it’s great and just works well. The .service isn’t required, but it’s a good habit to get into since systemd also has mounts and timers.

      Any idea which unit type systemctl defaults to if there are a timer and a service with the same name? I’ve always left the .service off, but it makes sense to get into the habit of adding it if it can cause confusion.
