It could be that yt-dlp-webui works correctly when started manually from the console, but with systemd, it does not see the yt-dlp executable, or has issues writing to the database file. One way to fix these issues could be as follows:
```shell
cd
mkdir yt-dlp-webui-workingdir
# optionally move the already existing database file there:
mv local.db yt-dlp-webui-workingdir
nano yt-dlp-webui-workingdir/my.conf
```
The config file format is described above; make sure to include the `downloaderPath` setting (the path can possibly be found by running `which yt-dlp`). For example, one could have:
```
downloadPath: /stuff/media
downloaderPath: /home/your_user/.local/bin/yt-dlp
log_path: /home/your_user/yt-dlp-webui-workingdir
session_file_path: /home/your_user/yt-dlp-webui-workingdir
```
Adjust the Service section in the `/etc/systemd/system/yt-dlp-webui.service` file as follows:
```
[Service]
User=your_user
Group=your_user
WorkingDirectory=/home/your_user/yt-dlp-webui-workingdir
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp-webui --conf /home/your_user/yt-dlp-webui-workingdir/my.conf
```
## Manual installation
```sh
