Add own service that's running all the time

General Discussion

So i installed (successfully) a program called “TraktPlexSync”

After installation you need to run the command

plextraktsync watch

to start the program and do what it does.

The Documentation als says I can run a systemd service to start the command plextraktsync watch automatically during every boot.

so I did:

nano /etc/systemd/system/PlexTraktSync.service

and added the code from the Documentation

[Unit]
Description=PlexTraktSync watch daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=plextraktsync watch
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
User=user
Group=user

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and finalized it with

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start PlexTraktSync.service
sudo systemctl enable PlexTraktSync.service

then I went into the

dietpi-launcher

into the services tab and “add” the PlexTraktSync (without .service)

image
image1920×1281 148 KB

and turned everything on. but State stucks on “activating”

image
image1920×1281 108 KB

Status Output:

image
image1920×1281 77.1 KB

so I did a reboot and hoped I would not need to type

plextraktsync watch

and it would run/start automatically…it did not.

what am I doing wrong. did I read the Documentation wrong?

Edit:

I did not do this step:

image1738×222 20.8 KB

since I am not understanding what this means/does. May this be the culprit?

When you Look at dietpi-launcher - Services there is the Point “Status” there are you can read / Look Up why your Service dont start or why it start with a Error

The secound Point is execstart
This Differenz is the folder path
Some Linux App can use Its one path for install so when you have execstart=plex.sh watch , Linux maybe dont know the folder where It can find the sh File

You can check the the logs with journalctl -u PlexTraktSync.service.

@RaptorSDS and @Jappe
sorry for the late reply.

here is what I get out if I check out the status:

journalctl -u PlexTraktSync.service

gives me:

I just posted here 5 counts. it goes up to 88

Please check if you have a acoount on yur system with Name “user” in your Service you say that the Plexsystem should run as “User=user” also Group maybe wrong ;
when you delete this than the service run as root or you have to add a new user call “user”

It’s now late here and my PC is already shut down, but I’m gonna check it tomorrow.

But I typed in
root:root
plex:plex
dietpi:dietpi
as well and it was still not running

7

I used now

cat /etc/passwd

and checked if I have a user group. I do not.

I changed now to

[Unit]
Description=PlexTraktSync watch daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=plextraktsync watch
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
User=root
Group=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and

root@DietPi:~# sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start PlexTraktSync.service
sudo systemctl enable PlexTraktSync.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/PlexTraktSync.service → /etc/systemd/system/PlexTraktSync.service.

now I have a new output:

yes this is your issue

You would need to specify the full path to where the file is located

I think I literally came to the solution by myself. let me test and see if I found the solution for my first linux issue (im happy :slight_smile: )

ok it works. that’s the right code:

[Unit]
Description=PlexTraktSync watch daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/root/.local/pipx/venvs/plextraktsync/bin/plextraktsync watch
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
User=root
Group=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

then

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start PlexTraktSync.service
sudo systemctl enable PlexTraktSync.service

damn im proud on myself.

thanks @Joulinar @Jappe @RaptorSDS to push me in the right directions
