📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

So I'm updating the technitium dns server from the LXC container itself. The original technitium script used to install a service called dns.service at /etc/systemd/system. This service file is still located within this directory. I noticed however when I run the updated scripts within the technitium LXC container (bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/technitiumdns.sh)"), it tries to start a service called technitium.service. I looked at the source of the script at it has a command to cp /opt/technitium/dns/systemd.service /etc/systemd/system/technitium.service. For some reason when running this upgrade script, I don't get any technitium.service installed and it doesn't exist in the filesystem. If I manually restart dns.service the service will restart.

You have a old installation, and you already answered your own question/problem
rename the dns.service to technitium.service and you're done

Hey thanks for reply but I didn't answer my own question. The install script or update script is supposed to install technitium.service but it didn't. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug.

the new service is not created as update _script only restarts a created technitium.service. ill suggest manually changing the name of the file to tenitium.service as suggested above, it shouldn't happen again.

Fresh install:

Service is there

This issue was not completely fixed for me. Post file move operation the new technitium.service was not enabled. Manually enabling resolved. Only happened on one of my LXC upgrades both done at the same time today.
