 When there are problems, check for logs in ''/var/log/syslog'' or ''/var/log/messages''.
+I think we need to update ''/etc/systemd/system/log2ram.service'' to make log2ram come after nginx, like so...
+<file bash log2ram.service>
+[Unit]
+Description=Log2Ram
+DefaultDependencies=no
+Before=basic.target rsyslog.service syslog.target systemd-journald.service sysinit.target shutdown.target apache2.service nginx.service
+After=local-fs.target
+Conflicts=shutdown.target reboot.target halt.target
+RequiresMountsFor=/var/log /var/hdd.log
+IgnoreOnIsolate=yes
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStart= /usr/local/bin/log2ram start
+ExecStop= /usr/local/bin/log2ram stop
+ExecReload= /usr/local/bin/log2ram write
+RemainAfterExit=yes
+[Install]
+WantedBy=sysinit.target
+</file>
+Otherwise, it turns out that log2ram does screw up nginx's ability to start on power-cycle. Maybe need something like the following...
+<file bash todo_after_powercycle.sh>
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# The tool we use to save flash affects the startup of nginx
+if [ ! -d "/var/log/nginx" ]; then
+  sudo mkdir /var/log/nginx
+fi
+# if service --status-all | grep -Fq '[ - ]  nginx'; then
+if ! service nginx status | grep -Fq 'active (running)'; then
+  sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start > /dev/null
+  # systemctl start nginx
+fi
+</file>

+===== PiHole =====
+**Note**: I've currently got an incompatibility between PiHole and HTTPS redirecting. So I'm not using CertBot at the moment. Will have to figure that out.
+PiHole connects to FTL over port 4711.  If FTL were running, it'd have a logfile you could view like so:
+<code bash>
+$ cat /var/log/pihole-FTL.log
+</code>
+You could also do the following:
+<code bash>
+telnet 127.0.0.1 4711
+>stats
+</code>
+or
+<code bash>
+echo ">stats" | nc 127.0.0.1 4711
+</code>
+If you can't connect, you can see which services are listening like so:
+<code bash>
+$ sudo netstat -tulpn
+$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep FTL
+</code>
+I eventually clued in to my problem here:
+<code bash>
+$ pihole-FTL running
+FATAL: Opening of FTL log (/var/log/pihole-FTL.log) failed!
+       Make sure it exists and is writeable by user pi
+raspberrypi:~$ ls -l /var/log/pihole*
+-rw-r--r-- 1 pihole  pihole        0 Nov 24 20:42 /var/log/pihole-FTL.log

+-rw-r----- 1 dnsmasq root   15273984 Sep 12 00:00 /var/log/pihole.log.1
+...

+[2017-09-03 15:17:05.038] FATAL: Opening of /var/log/pihole.log failed!

+$ sudo chmod +r /var/log/pihole.log
+$ sudo service pihole-FTL restart
+$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep FTL
+tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:4711          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      11082/pihole-FTL
+</code>
+And eventually discovered that my actual problem was that my log2ram mount was full. After fixing /var/log, I still had to ask pihole to restart its DNS.
+<code>
+$ pihole restartdns
+</code>
