Hey, I just installed Node-RED on my Raspberry4. When I want to start it shows the error cause my boot system is not systemd
admin@raspberry:~ $ node-red-start
Start Node-RED
Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at http://192.168.178.116:1880
On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser
Use node-red-stop to stop Node-RED
Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again
Use node-red-log to view the recent log output
Use sudo systemctl enable nodered.service to autostart Node-RED at every boot
Use sudo systemctl disable nodered.service to disable autostart on boot
To find more nodes and example flows - go to http://flows.nodered.org
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
Starting as a systemd service.
What can I do to fix this?
This is what node-red -v shows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

If you used the node-red install script, you should be able to confirm that it works by running the command node-red.
That prints status messages up to "Started flows".
If that works type CTRL c and run sudo systemctl start nodered
(Note there is a hyphen in the first command, not in the second)
Then point a browser to your Pi IP address :1880 and you should see the editor.
Node-red will start up automatically when you reboot the Pi.
Yeah jbudd I uses the install script and node-red shows "Started Flows"
But sudo systemctl start nodered ends with a failure:

I'm not so confirm with raspberry so I used a pre configured image of Raspberry Pi OS. It runs a bridge to connect KNX to Apple HomeKit. All I know is that is using Pi OS and just changed username. No docker and I didn't change anything in /boot
