the installation seems to be ok

Code

but the server is down and it seems the service is not available at all

Code

$ sudo systemctl disable --now hyperion@pi
Failed to disable unit: Unit file hyperion@pi.service does not exist.

the only way to start the server is by running:

Code

$ sudo /usr/share/hyperion/bin/hyperiond /etc/hyperion/hyperion.config.json
2021-10-04T13:48:36.740 hyperiond SETTINGSMGR  : <ERROR> Database version [2.0.0-alpha.10] is greater that current Hyperion version [2.0.0-alpha.10.1]
2021-10-04T13:48:36.745 hyperiond DAEMON       : <INFO> CEC handler created
2021-10-04T13:48:36.753 hyperiond EFFECTFILES  : <INFO> 40 effects loaded from directory :/effects/
2021-10-04T13:48:36.757 hyperiond EFFECTFILES  : <INFO> 22 effect schemas loaded from directory :/effects/schema/

how can I restore the service and make it start automatically on reboot?

Same for me. A listing of the file contents of the hyperion alpha 10.1 package lists this: -

/usr/share/hyperion/service/hyperion.systemd

But the "service" directory doesn't exist after installation: -

ls /usr/share/hyperion/

ls /etc/systemd/system

The systemd service file is missing

here you can find the service file for the folder /etc/systemd/

service

Thanks for all the help.

Sorry for being noob but after copying the file to /etc/systemd/system - what should we do?

Thank again for all the help.

Am I right that you are using Raspberry Pi OS with graphical user interface?
