Description Sven 2020-09-20 22:50:41 UTC 
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

Hi,
What is the problem with that, did you migrate from OpenRC to systemd?
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.
