Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with setting up Keepalived on Ubuntu 16. I went ahead and followed the tutorial here on Digital Ocean but when I run sudo start keepalived I get an error saying that start isnt a recognized command.
I am having a hard time finding other resources but I suspect that I either need to use different command to start keepalived, or I need to modify the tutorial in some way.
Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated!

Ah, Ubuntu 16.04 uses systemd instead of upstart, so “start” isn’t a thing anymore. Instead, you can use:
sudo service keepalived start
or
sudo systemctl start keepalived.service
both will do the same. :)
Oh great that worked!
I am still having some issues with keepalived working but that is because my setup is a bit more involved than the one in the tutorial. I’ll figure it out eventually.
Thanks so much for your help
