Try this:

systemctl enable emby-server

systemctl start emby-server

It looks from the above that the emby-server service has become disabled.

This may be due to running a version of Mono that Emby does not work well with.

Best version is 4.8.1 - any higher, Emby may not work.

mono --version

Will tell you.
