trying to run local hhd install for dev purposes, but systemd service is failing

Trying to run a custom systemd service for hhd so that i can do localhost dev work, and i can get the local install to work if i run hhd manually, but the systemd service itself fails. any ideas on where the problem is?

could be selinux try sudo setenforce 0 if that fixes it, moving your executable to /usr/local/bin and making sure it's marked as executable w/ selinux labeling should be enough

nice, that worked. sounds like I need to add it via rpm-ostree somehow then? since usroverlay isn't permanent

Usr local is writeable

oh ok, nice. i thought all of /usr wasn't writable and is marking it as executable with selinux just a chmod +x? or is there more to it?

I promise that works and isn't just something out of a Lovecraft book

clearly not just a chmod +x then. thanks, i'll try it out and see if it works. i'm assuming the setenforce 0 doesn't persist across reboots feels awkward making a venv in /usr/bin/local, but I can confirm that it works. Thanks!

~/.local/bin would work too fyi just need the same selinux command
