I have placed a file called vbox.service under /lib/systemd/system/vbox.service with the following content
[Unit]
Description=Virtualbox Headless VM
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/VBoxHeadless --startvm 4decf7c1-7eda-461c-92aa-835d2405a22e
ExecStop=/usr/bin/VBoxManage controlvm 4decf7c1-7eda-461c-92aa-835d2405a22e poweroff
User=my_user
[Install]
WantedBy=muti-user.target
If I start and stop it via
sudo systemctl start vbox and sudo systemctl stop vbox, everything works fine
Then i entered the following:
sudo systemctl enable vbox, but it wont start at boot
Here is the output
sudo systemctl status vbox
vbox.service - Virtualbox Headless VM

/usr/bin/VBoxHeadless --startvm 4decf7c1-7eda-461c-92aa-835d2405a22e works fine
Any ideas, though?

Not a solution, just some general tips:
- custom service files should be placed in /etc/systemd/system
- the path for package-installed service files is /usr/lib/systemd/system, not /lib/systemd/system.

Does not solve the systemd problem but: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vbox-headless-daemon
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs
