   FWIW, this is my bitcoind.service config, running on Ubuntu 24.04:

    0[Unit]
    1Description=Bitcoin Core Daemon
    2After=network-online.target
    3
    4[Service]
    5User=bitcoin
    6Type=simple
    7Restart=on-failure
    8ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind
    9
   10[Install]
   11WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

   Then I enabled it:

   0~$ sudo systemctl enable bitcoind.service
   

   Never had any issues with it.

   I think we can close this now as it’s resolved.

   In the future please be aware that general bitcoin questions and/or support requests are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange or the #bitcoin IRC channel on the Libera Chat network.
