Problem with service

[4ordy]

getting this error when the service is trying to run........

● garageqtpi@root.service - GarageQTPi Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/garageqtpi@root.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2018-03-16 07:05:06 UTC; 2s ago Process: 11297 ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/pi/GarageQTPi/main.py (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 11297 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Mar 16 07:05:06 garagepi systemd[1]: garageqtpi@root.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

the bash script has run it has root....is that the problem or is there something in the code?

I am seeing the same issue on a Pi Zero W with Raspbian Stretch.

What command are you running that shows this output?

[claughinghouse]

I was running systemctl status garageqtpi@root.service

@tagno25 Was kind enough to write the service. Do you have any ideas?

I do not know much about python but I think there is an issue running main.py as root versus as the pi user. When I run sudo python main.py I get this error:

root@GarageQTPi:/home/pi/GarageQTPi# sudo python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
    import yaml
ImportError: No module named yaml

But when running without sudo this is the output:

pi@GarageQTPi:~/GarageQTPi $ python main.py
Welcome to GarageBerryPi!
Connected with result code: Connection Accepted.
Listening for commands on home-assistant/cover/set

I have resolved my issue. @4ordy I had to sudo su and then rerun pip install -r requirements.txt so that the requirements were installed as the root user that the autostart_systemd.sh installs the service as.

Yours looks like the same as I had.

Works great, thanks so much @claughinghouse and @Jerrkawz ...very happy!
