oh man... if I had known you just wanted a little local Electrum server... I would have recommended electrs Tongue

I thought you were trying to get your own public facing Electrum server up and running. Roll Eyes

I do. I just wanted to firstly setup a personal server. Running a server publicly is secondary.

3. Setup with systemd, https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HOWTO.html#using-systemd

The problem with electrumx is that I still haven't understood how it works. For example, on electrum-personal-server, you're starting the server with electrum-personal-server config.ini. With what file do you start electrumx? service/electrumx?

The tutorial doesn't tell you much. It just says "run that command, then another command etc.". Where's the explanation? How am I supposed to know what does that do and from what directory should I run it?:

Code:

systemctl start electrumx

This is what it returns me when I execute the above command:

Code:

angelo@angelopc:~/Desktop/electrumx$ systemctl start electrumx
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of electrumx.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
Job for electrumx.service failed because of unavailable resources or another system error.
See "systemctl status electrumx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

And then with systemctl status electrumx.service (as it's been said in the error):

Code:

angelo@angelopc:~/Desktop$ systemctl status electrumx.service

(Απρ is Apr on my lang)

As I said, I have a VPS left over and I'd like to "donate" its operation to the electrum community instead of having it shut down. I also like practicing in this field. I'd have probably given up with this setup, but it seems that I'm a stubborn...
