Looks like the problem is in the (missing?) ejadderd configuration
files.
There are lots of options. I'd expect the suitable defaults for
Evergreen would be provided by Evergreen. Obviously they aren't.
For ejabberd you /could/ try looking here:
https://docs.ejabberd.im/get-started/
But unless the Evergreen defaults are really basic you probably need to
search the Evergreen documentation.
NB. I doubt if the problem is anything to do with systemd.
