title: Does the ubuntu image in GCP Compute not use systemctl?
body: <p>I've downloaded nginx into my debian 10 server. GCP Compute instance. When I run the command in cloud terminal to start it:</p>
  <pre><code>&gt; sudo systemctl start nginx
  </code></pre>
  <p>I get this error:</p>
  <pre><code>&gt; System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't
  &gt; operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
  </code></pre>
  <p>Really any operation with <code>systemctl</code> doesn't work.</p>
  <p>How would I get nginx running? does Debian not have <code>systemctl</code>?</p>
  <p>Many thanks</p>
