Please read this https://github.com/minio/minio-service/tree/master/linux-systemd @akb2017 and let us know how it goes.

But that one requires root access right? I want to run this without root access

It doesn't require root access.. you can configure the system daemon to run as a normal user.

https://github.com/minio/minio-service/tree/master/linux-systemd#note - read the Note here. First you need to configure the service as root and then subsequently make a proper user without shell to run the service.

@akb2017 : Can you also send the logs of Minio using the command journalctl -u minio.service and also the version of Minio you are running using the /opt/minio/minio --version command.

If I specify my MINIO_VOLUMES with a comment in the line, minio won't start either. Try removing the comment in your config file.
