Can't start tmux with systemd
(Previously: Systemd unit file only works for one instance name, not the other)
After finding a solution for the question linked above, my Minecraft server did what it was supposed to. But today, while creating a manual backup (by stopping the server, copying its directory somewhere else, and restarting it), something broke, and I don't know what.
This is my systemd unit file as of now:
[Unit]
Description=Minecraft Server: %i
Requires=network.target local-fs.target
After=network.target local-fs.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/minecraft/servers/%i
User=minecraft
Group=minecraft
Type=forking
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/opt/minecraft/servers/%i/ENV
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tmux new -s %i -d '/usr/bin/java -Xms1G -Xmx${MEMORY_ALLOC} -Dminecraft.instancename=%i -jar forge-universal.jar nogui'
ExecStop=/usr/bin/tmux send -t %i 'say SERVER WILL SHUT DOWN IN 10 SECONDS' ENTER
ExecStop=/bin/sleep 10
ExecStop=/usr/bin/tmux send -t %i 'stop' ENTER
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
(The environment file referenced in the unit file just contains the line MEMORY_ALLOC=3G.)
systemctl start minecraft@creative instantly returns and does literally nothing. Executing tmux ls as user minecraft yields the unhelpful message no server running on /tmp/tmux-999/default.
The server can be run manually, either inside or outside of a tmux session using java -Xms1G -Xmx3G -jar forge-universal.jar nogui with no problems. It only does this when run in tmux via systemd.
systemctl --failed displays this:
0 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
The journal contains no information whatsoever, as does the syslog.
I have no idea what's going on. Thanks to the internet outrage over the tmux-systemd thing from 2016, my Google results are largely unhelpful drivel. Does someone here know what I'm doing wrong?
