Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with a systemd service I set up to run my Minecraft server using the screen command. Every time my server reboots, it seems like the service can't find the command anymore. The issue only gets fixed temporarily when I reinstall the package. I'm running Debian 12 Server, and I'm wondering what could be causing this. Any suggestions?

You might want to look into creating a proper systemd service file. This will allow your Minecraft server to start automatically at boot, instead of relying on screen. Make sure to set it up correctly so that it runs the commands needed without any issue.
It sounds like you're running into a common issue. The screen command is a terminal multiplexer that helps maintain your sessions even if you close the terminal. However, a reboot will still kill everything running in screen, and that's likely why you can't find the command afterward. To have your Minecraft server start automatically after a reboot, you'll need to make sure your systemd service is set up correctly. Just like how terminal sessions don't carry over post-reboot, you'll need to configure your service to restart the Minecraft server as well.
