Not able to get systemd service working #52

Open cmburns opened 6 years ago

cmburns commented 6 years ago

Hi,

first I want to thank you for this great tool. Basically I could make my miflora sensor working. Now I want to make the systemd service working but got problems. I installed the service as written in the github documentation:

sudo cp /opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/template.service /etc/systemd/system/miflora.service sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start miflora.service

But then the terminal shows:

Job for miflora.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status miflora.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

If I run systemctl status miflora.service it tells me:

miflora.service - Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor MQTT Client/Daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/miflora.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2018-08-14 11:15:15 CEST; 19min ago Docs: https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon Process: 27488 ExecStart=/opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/miflora-mqtt-daemon.py (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 27488 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

What I am missing?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Is it work when you run standard without service? Show your service file.

cmburns commented 6 years ago

Hi mredone,

thanks for your help. Yes it is working if I run it in terminal window using:

python3 /opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/miflora-mqtt-daemon.py

It reads out my miflora sensor and shows the JSON values. Then it goes to sleep for 300 sek.. Here comes my miflora.service file:

Hi,

is there anybody out there who can help me with this?

mredone commented 6 years ago

Can you start service later? sudo systemctl start miflora.service

cmburns commented 6 years ago

Hi mredone,

I tried that but it says:

Job for miflora.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status miflora.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

"systemctl status miflora.service" shows:

and "journalctl -xe" says:

And now please?

ajxn commented 6 years ago

Den ons 22 aug. 2018 kl 19:31 skrev cmburns notifications@github.com:

And now please?

Yes? Have you turned on all debugging messages that you can for the daemon? Have you turned on more debugging for systemd? Do the services have all the permissions that it might need to function?

Hi ajxn,

I am not a Linux professional, can you please tell me how to do that?

cmburns commented 6 years ago

Can someone help me further please?

cmburns commented 6 years ago

Need help please...

ThomDietrich commented 6 years ago

Hello @cmburns, are you still in need for help? Please post the output of systemctl -n100 status miflora.service

jwhite commented 5 years ago

Same issue here....

Status: "Jun 22 22:50:10 - MQTT connection error. Please check your settings in the configuration file "config.ini".

Perhaps the service comes up before the networking?

jwhite commented 5 years ago

I added these lines to the service control file...

[Unit] Description=Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor MQTT Client/Daemon Documentation=https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon After=bluetooth.service mosquitto.service network-online.target Wants=network-online.target

It seems to work now for me.

jwhite commented 5 years ago

Also should probably add a

StartLimitIntervalSec=0

under [Service] in case you have a power outage and the gateway comes up before the mqtt service.

ThomDietrich commented 5 years ago

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your solution. Please create a PR for those changes :)

stefanheijnen commented 4 years ago

I've the same issue as stated above, only difference is, is that I'm running this daemon on multiple devices in my home network and not on the openHAB Rpi.

The service would still start before the network was up:

Even though I configured it like this:

/etc/systemd/system/miflora.service 

[Unit]
Description=Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor MQTT Client/Daemon
Documentation=https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon
After=network-online.target bluetooth.service bluetooth.target multi-user.target
Wants=network-online.target bluetooth.target

[Service]
Type=notify
User=daemon
Group=daemon
WorkingDirectory=/opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/
ExecStart=/opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/miflora-mqtt-daemon.py
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=journal
Environment=PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true
Restart=always
#StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To workaround this problem I created a systemd timer:

/etc/systemd/system/miflora.timer

[Unit]
Description=Miflora timer

[Timer]
# Time to wait after booting before it run for first time
OnBootSec=1m
Unit=miflora.service

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Don't forget to enable it with:

sudo systemctl enable miflora.timer

stefanheijnen commented 4 years ago

Or just RTFM: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

The right "wait" service must be enabled too (NetworkManager-wait-online.service if NetworkManager is used to configure the network, systemd-networkd-wait-online.service if systemd-networkd is used, etc.). systemd-networkd.service has Also=systemd-networkd-wait-online.service in its [Install] section, so when systemd-networkd.service is enabled, systemd-networkd-wait-online.service will be enabled too, which means that network-online.target will include systemd-networkd-wait-online.service when and only when systemd-networkd.service is enabled. NetworkManager-wait-online.service is set up similarly. Verify that the right service is enabled (usually only one should be):

$ systemctl is-enabled NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
disabled
enabled
