Wayne,

    Debian Strech uses systemd so I'm not quite sure where exactly 
you'll find the service startup scripts in this case. On pre-systemd 
machines OPENNMS_HOME will be defined in the file /etc/init.d/opennms - 
The OpenNMS docs suggest that only the RHEL version is using systemd but 
I'm going to take a guess that the documentation hasn't caught up yet.


It could be worth re-running the upgrade/install scripts again to see if 
this correctly sets up the environment: 
https://docs.opennms.org/opennms/releases/17.0.0/guide-install/guide-install.html#gi-install-opennms-deb-init


On a debian system you'll normally find OPENNMS_HOME to be in 
/usr/share/opennms which is different from the /opt based path used in 
RHEL/CentOS


HTH
