troubles installing snapcast snapserver

[ignacio82]

I'm trying to install the snapcast snapserver on my ubuntu server box. I tried:
sudo apt install snapserver but i get the following error:

ignacio@mini-server:~$ systemctl status snapserver
× snapserver.service - Snapcast server
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snapserver.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

However, if I run it not as a service it works:
