Can't figure out what systemd service is failing. (sh.itjust.works)

Hello everyone,

I recently set up a drop-in systemd unit file that adds an "on failure" command to all user-level services on a home server. Specifically the on failure command sends a notification to ntfy.sh detailing the service that has failed. E.g. if my miniflux container fails, it will send a notification such as Le service miniflux.service a échoué. Vérifier : journalctl --user -u miniflux.service

However, particularly on server startup, I have been getting some weird failure notifications for services I cannot find.

Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot this? An example is provided bellow.

It's probably most effective at this point to add systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg to the kernel boot options to ferret out what's creating it then go from there

It is 100% more effective to move to a nosystemd distribution.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
