I can't get ejabberd to start on a Ubuntu 18.04 Server that's installed inside a Proxmox linux container.
During install I get this error:
Setting up ejabberd (18.01-2) ...
Job for ejabberd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ejabberd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I read a bug report that suggests that the problem has to do with the way Ejabberd is configured with systemd:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ejabberd/+bug/1815699
That person said that the issue had to do with these 3 settings:
- PrivateTmp=true
- ProtectHome=true
- ProtectSystem=full
But he didn't say where to find them or how to change them.
I found them here: nano /lib/systemd/system/ejabberd.service
I've tried setting them to false, commenting them out, etc. After each change I tried, I'd reboot the container and try test to see if chat was working. It wasn't.
I don't know much about systemd or ejabberd. I've installed ejabberd successfully a few times in the past, but I don't know how to get past this.
