I am now compiling the new 0.4.4.7 version and by that I saw that the entry of "systemd support (--enable-systemd)" is is "no". So I assume that the systemd functionality is not on board, or am I wrong?
How do I enable for the compiling process?

Permissions issue of /var/lib/tor / DataDirectory most likely, and Tor can't fix it itself since it's likely owned by root, however the systemd unit starts it under a separate user. 2021-01-22 12:03 GMT, Patrice B?nig <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Hi @ list,

I am operating a relay for several years and I really do like it and
will do it for more years.

My current relay residents on Pi 4. At first I installed it via apt but
now the 32 Bit sources are no longer available. So I thought I could
build the from source.

The building process went well but now I have a problem with the user
permissions. I can't get tor really running.

_My first attempt was:_

To start tor with "systemctl start tor". But tor won't start and "
journalctl -u tor" says only this:

Jan 22 09:08:32 rpi4tor systemd[1]: Stopped LSB: Starts The Onion Router
daemon processes.

_My second attempt was:_

I changed the user of all tor files to the current user "pi". After that
I was able to start tor with "tor --quiet" as user "pi". All went fine
until I rebooted the system and all my changes to "pi" where changed to
"debian-tor".

_My third attempt was:_

I did "sudo tor --quiet". It works, but in "notices.log" is the
information that I shouldn't do that.


So, now I am standing here and don't know what to do. I would like to
start tor via systemd but I don't know what's wrong (maybe the
permissions). Does someone has a hint for me?

regards,
Karl
