The current systemd service fails, in case no other application "requires" the network-online.target (e.g. on a blocky only devices). It is created in a way that the network-online.target "Wants" blocky, but someone wanting the network-online.target is missing. Adding a "Wants=network-online.target" and switching to "WantedBy=multi-user.target" solved it for me. "WantedBy" ensures that blocky is started while "Wants" requests the network-online.target to get started.

Could you please provide the yml basic config file ? Could you please add a systemd service for it also ?
