Can't start with systemd and systemctl

[Leetxjd]

Below is the report I receive from systemctl status searxng-docker.service

I can't figure out what I may be doing incorrectly.

I don't want to clutter this message with the various yml and settings files, but will upload them if asked.

I am able to start searxng using the docker-compose commands. It is just I cant seem to get the systemd service to start it. I really want this to start on boot. Any help is appreciated.

This is driving me crazy. I can't figure out why I can't get SearXNG to start on boot.

Any help or insight is welcome!

Here is what systemctl status reports:

Did you edited your settings.yml file? .. most often a wrong indentations in the settings.yml file blocks SearXNG from running. If you did not get help here, you can try to ask on #searxng:matrix.org.

No, I didn't touch it. I make modifications through the preferences menu.

Thanks for the matrix lead on getting help.

I just tried installing and using systemd on another debian linux (MintOS) and I receive the same error as I have on Ubuntu server.

I am cutting and pasting from the instructions - so I don't know what is going wrong. Am I supposed to be substituting my password in $(pwd)? I must be misunderstanding somthing...
