[SOLVED] Soju refuses to run (via systemd)

Hey all. I'm trying to set up the Soju software (an IRC bouncer). Pretty sure I got everything required after a few bumps but now I'm running into something I don't quiet understand.

If I run the same command that the systemd unit uses with sudo, it starts up and runs. If I try start the systemd service it immediately fails. The systemd unit looks like it's trying to run things as the soju user and group, so maybe I need to modify ownership of some system files somewhere?

/etc/soju/config

title <hostname>
hostname <external fqdn>
db sqlite /var/lib/soju/main.db
message-store db
listen unix+admin:///etc/soju/socket
listen ircs://0.0.0.0:6697
tls <path to crt file> <path to key file>
http-origin <external fqdn>

Re: [SOLVED] Soju refuses to run (via systemd)

Managed to figure this out in the Soju IRC chat. As I'm using a reverse proxy locally I had to remove the tls settings and I set the listen from ircs to irc://localhost:6697

Got it up and running.
