Why don't you create an account on Red Hat Developer? Then you can have access to a valid subscription with no costs.

Have you tried creating a lingering user just for the service?  

It looks like you're issueing those commands from your own user shell, but it's hard to tell without a `whoami`

The way I setup a container as a service is start with these commands:

sudo useradd syslogsa

sudo passwd syslogsa

exit

ssh syslogsa@myhost

loginctl enable-linger

Then run the rest of the commands you're having issues with, though ...

You'll need a -p to mkdir.  That command shouldn't work unless that user's homedir already has those dirs, and in that case it's not a clean dir to test from anyways.

I tested on 8.2 and the systemd unit file was created in my new, lingering user's directory.
