no service for ansible service module to stop and start

[Dialgatrainer02]

TASK [adguard : Stop AdGuardHome.] **** fatal: [adguard1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not find the requested service adguardhome: host"}

the task to stop agh fails and i was trying to find where the service was made and i can find it anywhere i have no extra vars and havent changed the daemon name. im running on alma linux which uses systemd. it is a fresh vm with no changes to do with adguard on it

I suppose I could make it a little clearer, but this role does not create the AdGuard Home systemd service by itself. I don't have the time to manage all the possible configurations for systemd units and believe that it is outside the scope of this role. However, here are some snippets from my personal infra repo to get you started.

1. Pull the ansible-galaxy requirements
2. Set your vars as appropriate (taking note in your situation the 0x0i.systemd unit_config var)
3. Run your ansible-playbook command

Thank you for opening this issue. Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction. Now that I know people are actually trying to use this role, maybe I should find some time to sit down and create some more documentation and examples...

Thank you in my.other projects I have using foo.service.j2 and copying it over this method for service files seems much better and thanks for the quick response
