Question
Failed to start ghost.service: Unit ghost.service not found.
Hi,
Ubuntu 16 showed me that there was some update, so I updated it. Now whenever I am trying to start the Ghost service I get “Failed to start ghost.service: Unit ghost.service not found.”
But when I go to Ghost folder and “npm start –production” it, it works.
Any idea how to get the “sudo service ghost start” working?

Can you clarify a bit. Were you using the Ghost one-click based on Ubuntu 14.04 and upgraded it to ubuntu 16.04? Did you install Ghost manually on a 16.04 droplet and if so, what steps did you follow to do so?
I think I resolved it. Something must have happened while updating the package. All I had to do was sudo dpkg –configure -a. Then it was up and running.
Just to answer your question I used Ubuntu 16.04 Ghost one-click to make the droplet (5 months ago I guess). Then I got a notification - New release ‘16.04.1 LTS’ available - So I did - do-release-upgrade - to upgrade it. Then my laptop got disconnected from Digitalocean, so I reconnected then everything was normal. Then I tried all the stuff what I told you already in the question above.
