In a earlier incarnation, it was even started earlier... But I'm not sure about `WantedBy` because I don't see it as a multi-user daemon - it does nothing for users......

@Zygo Speaking of databases: I'm planning to move our database servers to the new infrastructure at some time (probably after the kernel has moved to a new LTS version due...

It may redo some of the work of the last 15 minutes or so. So essentially, it picks up where it left.
