Hi,

Not an experienced Linux user, so bear with me. Managed to set up GROTT on a Pi and it is working correctly as proxy.

Following WIKI to set GROTT up as a linux service.

There I encounter this error after starting GROTT. 

thompy93@raspberrypi:/etc/systemd/system $ sudo systemctl status grott
× grott.service - Grott Growatt monitor
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/grott.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

From what I understand this is related to user somehow.

Default in grott.service is User=Pi

I dont have a Pi user, so I tried to change that to my rpi user without success. Also tried adding

User=root
Groupt=root

No success.

Owner of file is root. Rights on file are rwx rwx rwx.

Try user thompy93

thompy93 commented 11 months ago

That is my rpi user. Tried that.

I also see in the grott.service that it is pointing to path 

WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/grott/
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/python3 -u /home/pi/grott/grott.py -v
#StandardInput=socket
StandardOutput=journal

WorkingDirectory and ExecStart should reflect user I installed Pi with?

flopp999 commented 11 months ago

Correct, change pi to the user you created during install of raspbian

thompy93 commented 11 months ago

Ok.

All changed now.

Seems like a deamon reload was not enough. sudo service grott restart

And I get this


● grott.service - Grott Growatt monitor
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/grott.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Fri 2023-11-03 20:27:48 CET; 2s ago

Thank you for pointers to resolve this.

Great Fun that you got it working
