I have a standing fatwa on snap only because it comes installed and enabled by default on Ubuntu server. Maybe it’s good for grandmas laptop but it’s kill-on-sight in a server environment. Every Ubuntu server I’ve seen has eventually been taken offline without any warning because of snapd
doing some auto update.
Ubuntu server should have snapd
disabled. Ubuntu shouldn’t be the default distro for VPS providers. AFAIK its only the default because its the distro most people might have prior experience with.
While I’m at it, Fedora is also on my shit list as dnf
requires over a gig of memory to do a major version upgrade.
For some reason you’re trying to install it as a system service so I suspect you need to start it with
sudo
and probably do the daemon reload with sudo. Not entirely sure its in the right folder but it might be fine.You can also try
systemctl list-unit
as a way to debug if its getting found by systemd.Fwiw I have spotifyd installed as a user service in
~/.config/systemd/user
that way I can start and stop it withsystemctl --user
instead ofsudo systemctl
. This is important because spotifyd will disconnect and need to be restarted after inactivity.
