[Solved] Error starting turnstiled - init-local.target service not found

I'm trying to use turnstile to run a user instance, since it seems to be the most recommended way to do it.
I've sucessfully installed turnstile from sources with cmake, meson and ninja.
But when I try to do `dinitctl start turnstiled`, it throws an error like this:
Code: [Select]
dinitctl: error loading service (or dependency of service).
dinitctl: try 'dinitcheck <service-name>' or check log for more information.

When I do that `dinitcheck turnstiled`, the output starts like this:
Code: [Select]
Checking service: turnstiled...
Checking service: init-local.target...
Unable to load service 'init-local.target': service description not found.
Checking service: login.target...
Checking service: local.target...
[...]

And in the final line it says ' One or more errors/warnings issued.'
Should I change /etc/dinit.d/turnstiled to depend on 'local.target' instead of 'init-local.target' or what am I missing?

Hmm.. The package should've sed it accordingly, but I'll check tomorrow, probably an oversight from my part.

I'll take a look tomorrow, but for now, sure, you can change it. It will be overwritten with the right dependency on update anyway.
now only the dinit guy in artix

Thank you very much.

I think I found the culprit and it was my fault. Thanks to your message, I discovered that there is actually a package in Artix repo.

I used `pacman -Ss turnstile` to check if it existed, but I did that in the host machine (Arch) instead of the virtual machine I'm using to experiment with Artix. That's why I didn't find it initially and just cloned and manually built the turnstile repo, following the repo README.

I removed it and installed the `turnstile` package instead, now the turnstiled  service file depends on local.target.

My bad, sorry.
