what is the systemd service file location best practise
New to systemd and unix and am unsure of the standards for the location of a systemd service file.
I want to follow the unix way and am wondering where a custom service file goes on ubuntu.
I have seen:
/usr/lib/systemd/user
/lib/systemd/system
/etc/systemd/system
What is the "best practice" location?

/lib/systemd/system is the vendor shipped unit files and you can override them by placing them in /etc/systemd/system. There is a lot more about it. It is pretty lengthy but read the "Description" part on the following link: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
