I have installed radarr successfully, but it will only run if I use terminal and type:
mono ~/Radarr/Radarr.exe When I close terminal, radarr will stop working so I followed the instructions on wiki github and varhowto to create auto-start using systemd with this command.
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/radarr.service I have tried this using vim an nano as well. Here is the text I used changing vh to "david"
[Unit] Description=Radarr Daemon After=syslog.target network.target [Service] # Change and/or create the required user and group. User=david Group=david Type=simple # Change the path to Radarr or mono here if it is in a different location for you. ExecStart=/usr/bin/mono --debug /home/david/Radarr/Radarr.exe -nobrowser TimeoutStopSec=20 KillMode=process Restart=on-failure # These lines optionally isolate (sandbox) Radarr from the rest of the system. # Make sure to add any paths it might use to the list below (space-separated). #ReadWritePaths=/opt/Radarr /path/to/movies/folder #ProtectSystem=strict #PrivateDevices=true #ProtectHome=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target After I save and exit, I run the following:
sudo systemctl enable --now radarr.service ... but I get the following error and font know what to correct now:
david@david-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo systemctl enable --now radarr.service Failed to start radarr.service: Unit radarr.service has a bad unit file setting. See system logs and 'systemctl status radarr.service' for details. david@david-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo systemctl status radarr.service Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of radarr.service ch> ● radarr.service - Radarr Daemon Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit radarr.service has a bad unit file setting.)

I did have a GRUB screen come up so used the tool in linux via USB boot and fixed the GRUB issue. Everything is working except radarr will not stay running. As I mentioned and it will not auto-start. I'm not sure what the system logs are that it says to look at.

The ExecStart= path was incorrect. I figured out what to change for the path and it’s working now.
