Trouble making an executable as a service
I would like this to run as a service on my Ubuntu server 18.x...
https://github.com/xiaodoudou/PlexIPTV
I have downloaded the linux x64 file, made it executable in my home folder and tried to run it. I also setup the initial settings.json file in the same folder. It worked out fine, so to get it as a service I tried following this guide:
How can I make an executable run as a service?
So I made the file in /etc/systemd/system/, looking like the following:
[Unit]
Description=Plex IPTV-Tuner
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=plex
Group=plex
UMask=007
ExecStart=/usr/bin/PlexIPTV/PlexIPTV.linux-x64
Restart=on-failure
# Configures the time to wait before service is stopped forcefully.
TimeoutStopSec=300
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I also moved the executable well as the settings.json file to /usr/bin/PlexIPTV/
Now, when I try to run the folder I get the error that it's not allowed to open /settings.json.
I've tried to chmod 777 -R /usr/bin/PlexIPTV/ as well as chown plex:plex -R /usr/bin/PlexIPTV but it do not help.
Exact error I get:

"I've tried tochmod 777 -R /usr/bin/PlexIPTV/..." - NEVER do that; it gives every user and every process on your system write access to that directory, which can easily turn a smaller security problem into a much bigger one.

I also setup the initial settings.json file in the same folder. It worked out fine, so to get it as a service...
In the systemd service, set WorkingDirectory.

Do you actually get a "permission denied" error, or do you get "file not found"? I'm asking because I see no reason for it to look for
settings.jsonin the root (/) directory.– Kusalananda

"I've tried to
chmod 777 -R /usr/bin/PlexIPTV/..." - NEVER do that; it gives every user and every process on your system write access to that directory, which can easily turn a smaller security problem into a much bigger one.– marcelm

@marcelm yeah I know, I was just running mad when it kept saying that it did not have the permission.
