Thank you man

its run only with sudo ?

Nice - thanks.

I ran on a non-root user and encountered error: failed at step group spawning/bin/bash: operation root permitted.
My solution: just remove user and group from service file

thank you - works fine!

To get cap production sidekiq:start to work, I followed this advice and also put the service file in /lib/systemd/user instead of /lib/systemd/system. But putting it in the user directory isn't really a fix: the service doesn't continue running when the non-root user isn't logged in.

Why would it not work for me in the system folder when it appears to have worked for others? Why did I need to remove User and Group when they specify my deploy user?
