  • Comments / intructions within sbbs.service are misleading

    From Keyop Troy@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat May 7 16:06:51 2022
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/403

    The comments in sbbs.service:

    # Synchronet BBS startup file - Setup instructions
    #
    # 1. Modify the environment variables to match your SBBS setup
    # 2. Modify User and Group. If you run this as root you don't need
    # the ExecStartPre line.
    # 3. Modify the ExecStart and ExecStartPre paths to match your
    # Synchronet setup.
    # 4. Place this file in the correct location. For Ubuntu 16.04
    # you should place it in /lib/systemd/system
    # 5. Enable the service with "systemctl enable sbbs"
    # 6. To run the service without restarting "systemctl start sbbs"

    Are misleading (do not contain all of the required info to set up sbbs.service for a non root user).

    Suggest comments are repalced with a link to the wiki:

    I think the latest sbbs.service file has good instructions and the wiki page should refer to this file in gitlab rather than have a slightly different version of the file/instructions.
