CentOS 8, not possible to autostart enablessh about endlessh HOT 3 CLOSED

For the sake of posterity, I solved this issue on my server (CentOS Stream 8) by adapting some of the advice there:

Prerequisite: change ssh port

1. remove everything if already compiled from source /etc/endlessh/, /etc/systemd/system/endlessh.service, /usr/local/bin/endlessh.
2. install endlessh properly from dnf
3. change port configuration defined in /etc/endlessh/config to 22 (I want it to replace standard ssh without messing with iptables).
4. follow indications from /usr/lib/systemd/system/endlessh.service to run with port < 1024
5. systemctl start endlessh and systemctl enable endlessh

All done :)

You're using a custom build instead of the package in EPEL, right? If so, could you try with the package in EPEL?

# dnf install epel-release -y && dnf install endlessh -y

Checking the error log, it exits with a 203 error. systemd's documentation states that 203 is due to:
"The actual process execution failed (specifically, the execve(2) system call). Most likely this is caused by a missing or non-accessible executable file."

Can you try to launch endlessh manually?

Ok found my problem now... the executable file shouldn't be inside /usr/local/bin instead it should located inside /usr/bin. That was the difference between my centos 7 and 8 installation.
