I am trying to set up bitcoind to start at boot as a specific user. I see the process start for a minute and then fail, following boot.
I can start bitcoin as the user just fine with a login and then just run bitcoind. But I cannot pull the same trick off in a boot script.
journlctl -b

How do I get bitcoind to start at boot as user?
UPDATE:
It was a total systemd failure. it actually failed with 'service bitcoind start'. It just took a while to fail out.
