    We've gotten the edged to start but keyd, identityd and certd are in error due to missing sock files:

    × keyd is running - Error
    Could not connect to keyd on unix:///run/aziot/keyd.sock
    × certd is running - Error
    Could not connect to certd on unix:///run/aziot/certd.sock
    × identityd is running - Error
    Could not connect to identityd on unix:///run/aziot/identityd.sock
