The current ExecStart line is broken. It should be ExecStart=/usr/bin/znc -f --datadir=/var/lib/znc/ Otherwise, znc will be looking in /var/lib/znc/.znc for the configs folder. Workaround: create a symlink from /var/lib/znc/.znc to /var/lib/znc/ Reproducible: Always

I don't really want to change the unit, upstream provides it this way and if we change it, it will break everyone's configs.
Fixed in https://github.com/znc/znc/commit/d4bfd143b4b12f6e6695878cc1b5168cc31c362c thanks
Any reason this can't be patched in Gentoo temporarily, and this bug closed?
Louis, don't use the broken upstream unit file. It uses the /var/lib/znc/.znc folder only because /var/lib/znc/ is the home directory of the znc user. To use a dot-subfolder is very uncommon for system daemons. Also upstream has fixed their mistake by now. Since upstream has fixed their mistake, people's config will now break when znc is updated. This is due to the fact, that you, as a maintainer, did not take control of the datadir location in the first place. As a workaround for the broken unit file, I have created a symlink from /var/lib/znc/.znc to /var/lib/znc/.
Hi guys, I'm aware of the fa
Hi guys, I'm aware of the fact that upstream fixed this. I also don't really know how to tackle the problem created by the change in the location of the config. I don't really want to create a news item just for this. I'll think this through and probably backport the patch when I have a good solution to avoid breaking everyone's config.
