I’ve created a Bitcoin.service file as found here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/init/bitcoind.service
However i’ve modified it as i build bitcoin-core from source to the following:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7e1bca97739147d698327d7f3a119992
It is installed to:
/lib/systemd/system
As apparently in this version of Ubuntu it must be there
It runs when i run this command:
bitcoind -daemon -pid=/home/chris/.bitcoin/bitcoind.pid -
conf=/home/chris/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/home/chris/.bitcoin/
-disablewallet
However trying to run:
systemctl start bitcoind
Gives this error
