how to add ticktock to systemd

[mzy2240]

I am trying to add ticktock to systemd so that it could auto-start on boot. The server seems to be running, but it does not respond to any connection. Here is the log from systemctl:

khadas@khadas-vim3:~$ sudo systemctl status ticktock
● ticktock.service - TickTock service

And this is the systemd config:

[Unit]
Description=TickTock service
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=khadas
ExecStart=/home/khadas/ticktock/bin/tt -c /home/khadas/ticktock/conf/tt.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Any idea or example on this?

I will do:

1. ps -ef | grep tt to make sure TT process is running;
2. ./admin/ping.sh to make sure TT does respond. You should be able to see 'pong' immediately. If not, then either host or port is not specified correctly, or TT is stuck.
3. Look at logs to see anything suspicious. You may also consider increasing log level to HTTP or DEBUG to get more details in logs. Please send us the log if you can't figure it out.

Have you ever manually tested /home/khadas/ticktock/bin/tt -c /home/khadas/ticktock/conf/tt.conf to make sure it works?

I tried the exact systemd config as yours, with one exception. I removed the 'User=...' entry; that is, I run the service as root. Seems to work for me.
