Can't start Minio / Minio.service: Start request repeated too quickly. #8302
Description
Hi!
First, I tried to join the Slack channel but the link seems to be broken (https://github.com/minio/minio-service).
Minio doesn't started with systemd but works correctly when launched with the command line.
Any help really appreciated!
Thanks
Expected Behavior
I used the minio.service file available at https://github.com/minio/minio-service and the service failed to start.
Current Behavior
The error message is:
● minio.service - MinIO
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/minio.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2019-09-24 13:17:32 UTC; 34s ago

journalctl display an error but I don't find something relevant to correct it:

Possible Solution
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- Follow the step on https://github.com/minio and https://linuxhint.com/install_minio_ubuntu_1804/
I saw #6772 but it doesn't help me.
Context
I change my server, the old one is still working (Minio works fine on it).
