Copy content to a file and name it "sftpgo".
Run,
chown 0:0 sftpgo
chmod +x sftpgo && mv sftpgo /etc/init.d
update-rc.d sftpgo defaults
service sftpgo start

The installation of sftpgo from Debian repo on Devuan is pretty much the same as for Debian.
As described here,
https://docs.sftpgo.com/2.6/installation/#apt-repo
Just set,
CODENAME=bookworm
if you are installing on Devuan 5, (daedalus).
The init script sets the config path. So env files in that directory will be honored.
By default,
/etc/sftpgo

@no-systemd thanks for this contribution! At first glance, it looks good. I’ll need to find some time to test it myself, but it seems like a good candidate for merging into the main repository.

Would you be interested in preparing a pull request? The script could be added to the init directory.

[no-systemd]

Yes sure.
