Unable to start custom systemd service for Nodejs: Node not found
1
I installed Rocket.chat on my Debian Jessie, it works well and I want to start it automatically at boot as a service.
To start Rocket.chat manually I need to
$ cd /home/hung/Rocket.chat
$ node main.js
This is my /etc/systemd/system/rocket-chat.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node main.js
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
