I am trying to use systemd for the first time after giving up on supervisord.



Following this documentation for airflow here, my understanding is that I need to move the .service files to /usr/lib/systemd/system, however such directory does not exist in my system (Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS). Instead I have /usr/lib/systemd/system-environment-generators/.



Should I create this system folder myself or have I made a mistake somewhere which I need to fix otherwise?

          In Ubuntu the folder that holds the .service files is /lib/systemd/system. This folder is intended to be used by .deb packages.



          Best option to place systemd related files which are not provided by a Debian package would be /etc/systemd/system.

            Add your service to /etc/systemd/system. That path is intended to place systemd files that are not provided by Debian packages. I cannot answer why Ubuntu did choose that path layout, but you also my want to read man systemd.
