dante not starting during server reboot

Question

I installed dante (v1.4.2) using apt-get install dante-server on ubuntu 18.04 and have following configuration:

/etc/danted.conf

logoutput: /var/log/sockd.log

internal: eno1 port = 1080
external: eno1
external.rotation: same-same

socksmethod: username

user.privileged: root
user.unprivileged: nobody

client pass {
    from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    log: connect disconnect error
}

socks pass {
    from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    log: connect disconnect error
}

When I run service danted start or service danted restart the service starts without any issue and the socks proxy works when using via my client.

But when I restart my server, the service fails to start with following status when running service danted status

@TejasSarade it has same logs as mentioned on screenshot `danted.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1` and `danted.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'` — Deepika, Jun 27 '18 at 06:43

I had the same issue and came across your question. I fixed it by adding a systemd dependency of network-online.target to the danted.service, based on reading this https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

Here's how:

sudo systemctl edit danted.service

add this:

    [Unit]
    After=network-online.target
    Wants=network-online.target

save & exit, run this for good measure

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable danted.service

Exactly this! Network interface simply wasn't online on time, so this solved my problem. Thank you! — Michael Field, Nov 03 '20 at 10:27

I've got the same problem and tried systemctl an it does not work at all.

Finally I've used crontab -e adding this line:

@reboot sleep 10 && service danted restart

Now it works for me.

Try to enable this daemon in systemd

systemctl enable sockd.service
systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable danted.service

After each boot/reboot the dante deamon will be started.
