 Not in a chroot: chroots don't have an init system (systemd or 
 otherwise). If you don't use systemd on actual hardware for whatever 
 reason, then you'll need to test systemd units on a virtual machine that 
 boots using systemd, or a "full system" container that boots using 
 systemd. 
  
 lxc/lxd/incus containers normally boot a full system using a full init 
 system (systemd or sysv-rc). Docker containers normally do not. Podman 
 and systemd-nspawn containers can be used either way.
