How to set this up to run at startup?

[andzejsp]

Im on arch btw. The problem is that when i create systemd service (i dont have crontab) to run script bin/bash Ioturing but it says the command is not recognized, then i tried pipx run IoTuring, it runs but the volume control errors out. When i run manually from terminal IoTuring it runs and all volume conrols are enabled..

this is what i get running pipx run IoTuring from systemd service

bash script

#!/bin/bash
pipx run IoTuring

and systemd service

[Unit]
Description=IoTuring service
After=network.target
After=systemd-user-sessions.service
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=thicklin
ExecStart=/home/thicklin/ioturing.sh

[Install]

How do i do an autostart?

There are some instructions in the documentation: https://github.com/richibrics/IoTuring/blob/main/docs/Autostart%20tips.md#as-a-user-service-with-systemd-recommended

If you want to use the volume entity you should run it as a user service.

Does everything work as expected if you start it manually?

yeah, if i run : IoTuring everything works. same if i run script that has: pipx run IoTuring. I solved this, by adding .sh script file to the startup/autorun and it works now no problem.. too bad that systemd didnt work, but oh well..

Follow the docs I linked, volume entity works only in user-units. I use IoTuring that way on Arch, this is my setup in the docs.

Could you set this up? Or do you need some more help with this?

Please reply if you still can't set it up, I will close this issue until that
