Cannot get pynx584 to start on boot #60

farberm commented 2 years ago

I am installing on a raspberry pi4 My install is located at /usr/local/bin

I followed the instructions under Additional pynx584 Documentation (#13)

I then edited the rc.local file (located in /etc) to include the following:

sudo su - pi -c '/usr/local/bin/nx584_server --config /home/pi/config.ini --connect 192.168.2.71:4999 --baudrate 9600 --listen 192.168.2.165 --port 5007 --log /home/pi/nx584.log'

???NB - 192.168.2.165 is the address of the raspberry pi that I am running on - should this be local 127.0.0.1????

When I reboot however nx584 is not running.

I have to log into the terminal and issue the command from directory /home/pi ~ $ nx584_server --connect 192.168.2.71:4999 --baudrate 9600 ......AND IT WORKS

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Ok I finally got this to boot by using the docker-compose method to install

Where should the config.ini file be located for docker compose. I looked at the docker-compose-yml file and I have tried to place it in the home/pi without success as well as the home/pi/docker/pynx584 location and edited the docker-compose without success. It does not locate all 30 of my zones

You'd need to add something to the compose config to pass your config file into the container. That's really a docker/docker-compose question, not related to pynx584.
