I've tried multiple variations on the systemd unit file, but it still doesn't seem to want to update. Using @Sauraus's it just ends up in a restart loop, never actually finishing the upgrade. We need to always log in and manually start the service at least once with the agent.sh script in order for the upgrade to complete.

Does anyone have a functional unit file for this?

Edit:
The following seems to work for me:

[Unit]
Description=TeamCity Build Agent
After=network.target

[Service]
User=archiv
Type=forking
RemainAfterExit=yes
SuccessExitStatus=0 143
Restart=on-failure
PIDFile=/opt/BuildAgent_TC/buildAgent/logs/buildAgent.pid
ExecStart=/opt/BuildAgent_TC/buildAgent/bin/agent.sh start
ExecStop=/opt/BuildAgent_TC/buildAgent/bin/agent.sh stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
