Again, you haven't shown any attempts to start kafka.service in your
previous post. You've only shown attempts to start
docker-compose at kafka.service, a completely different unit. Whether Docker
indirectly uses kafka.service is irrelevant at this point – the CHDIR error
you've shown is generated directly by the startup of
*docker-compose at .service* itself, it did not propagate from some other unit
through several thick layers of extra software.
