RESOLVED - Moved From cloudflared-bin to cloudflared

Today I installed the cloudflared package to replace the now-deleted cloudflared-bin package.

Now, I am unable to start cloudflared using systemctl:

$ sudo systemctl start cloudflared.service
Failed to start cloudflared.service: Unit cloudflared.service not found.

However, the service does exist on my system here:

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cloudflared@cloudflared.service

I also tried "cloudflared@cloudflared.service," but that doesn't work either.

Would someone let me know how to help systemctl find the service?

I can start cloudflared from the commandline, which is how it's running now, but it would be best to have systemctl start it automatically.

Thank you!

Re: RESOLVED - Moved From cloudflared-bin to cloudflared

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cloudflared@cloudflared.service

I suspect that is a (broken) symlink which points to a file that was provided by cloudflared-bin, but not cloudflared. The repo package does not provide any service files.

You could manually install the service file previously provided by the bin package (files available here: (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … flared-bin), or you could open a feature request against the new package on the bug tracker to have this service file provided by the package.

Re: RESOLVED - Moved From cloudflared-bin to cloudflared

Thank you WorMzy!

That is exactly what happened. I found a copy of the service file left behind by cloudflared-bin. I copied that file to the expected location and I'm back in business. I will submit a feature request for this.

Thank you so much for you help!
