Ok, I think I’m giving up about systemd lol hehehe, always hated him…

Either way, if you have a issue like me and can’t fix systemd, just change to local:

```auto
ghost config --process local
ghost restart

```

Easier, simpler and more stable IMO. Hope Ghost keeps supporting non systemd alternatives
