Can you do service bedrock status and post the output? It should shed some light on what part of the post install script is failing.

This error is happening because we didn't include a systemd unit config for bedrock. We're working on getting one written, should be available soon.

[righdforsa]

In the meantime, users who get this error should be able to start the app manually from the init script:

sudo /etc/init.d/bedrock start

Hey @righdforsa, @quinthar,

I couldn't find how you build deb package for bedrock, so its not a proper PR per se, but here you go:

https://gist.github.com/qqo/32c26c6f4c24edd1c6aca216275d1b1e

In a nutshell, you can simply add those three files into debian control file and it should just work. The tests I did are also added to gist, and stuff I was concerned about marked as 'todo' in comments. Should also address #24 and #27. The config file is super simple to address the fact that it might be autogenerated, as well as initscript.

Cheers!

[righdforsa]

Thanks, @qqo ! We haven't included the build script yet, but this is super useful, thanks. Your documentation is very helpful, too!

[quinthar]

@righdforsa Can you please figure out how to convert this into a PR and merge it?

[righdforsa]

We've created a config directory in the repo, so now all we need to do is massage these a bit, test, and do a release.

[righdforsa]

Reassigning to @coleaeason who should be able to get this done faster.

Just ran into this same issue today and wanted to give this a "bump"
