ok I missed
sudo as I'm doing all this as user root
pls can you post following
Code: Select all
systemctl cat medusa.service
groups medusa
the first command seems to do the same as loading it into nano:
Code: Select all
dietpi@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl cat medusa.service
# /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service
# Medusa systemd service unit file
#
# Configuration Notes
#
# - Option names (e.g. ExecStart=, Type=) are case-sensitive)
#
# - Adjust User= and Group= to the user/group you want Medusa to run as.
#
# - Optional adjust EnvironmentFile= path to configuration file
# Can ONLY be used for configuring extra options used in ExecStart.
# Putting a minus (-) in front of file means no error warning if the file doesn't exist
#
# - Adjust ExecStart= to point to your python and Medusa executables.
# The FIRST token of the command line must be an ABSOLUTE FILE NAME,
# then followed by arguments for the process.
# If no --datadir is given, data is stored in same dir as start.py
# Arguments can also be set in EnvironmentFile (except python)
#
# - WantedBy= specifies which target (i.e. runlevel) to start Medusa for.
# multi-user.target equates to runlevel 3 (multi-user text mode)
# graphical.target equates to runlevel 5 (multi-user X11 graphical mode)
#
### Example Using Medusa as daemon with pid file
# Type=forking
# PIDFile=/var/run/PyMedusa/Medusa.pid
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --daemon --nolaunch --pidfile=/var/run/PyMedusa/Medusa.pid --datadir=/opt/medusa
## Example Using Medusa as daemon without pid file
# Type=forking
# GuessMainPID=no
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --daemon --nolaunch --datadir=/opt/medusa
### Example Using simple
# Type=simple
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --nolaunch
### Example Using simple with EnvironmentFile where APP_DATA=/home/medusa/.medusa in /etc/medusa.conf
# Type=simple
# EnvironmentFile=/etc/medusa.conf
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/medusa/start.py -q --nolaunch --datadir=${APP_DATA}
### Configuration
[Unit]
Description=Medusa Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=medusa
Group=medusa
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /mnt/dietpi_userdata/medusa/start.py -q --nolaunch --datadir=/mnt/dietpi_userdata/medusa
TimeoutStopSec=25
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
dietpi@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system$
second command:
Code: Select all
dietpi@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo groups medusa
medusa : dietpi
Side note: The help getting this sorted is appreciated

ok somehow the user group did not changed
Code: Select all
[Service]
User=medusa
Group=medusa
it should be
Code: Select all
[Service]
User=medusa
Group=dietpi
pls try again to do this as user root
Code: Select all
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'Group=' 'Group=dietpi' /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service
output should looks like this
Code: Select all
root@DietPi3:~# G_CONFIG_INJECT 'Group=' 'Group=dietpi' /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service
[ OK ] G_CONFIG_INJECT | Setting in /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service adjusted: Group=dietpi
root@DietPi3:~#

I always thought sudo was to do a command as the root user, after reading your reply I found out thats not really the case....
A quick bit of googling and i learnt how to log in as root user.
now the config_inject thing worked and i can load medusa! yay...thank you!
Code: Select all
root@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system# G_CONFIG_INJECT 'Group=' 'Group=dietpi' /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service
[ OK ] G_CONFIG_INJECT | Setting in /etc/systemd/system/medusa.service adjusted: Group=dietpi
root@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl daemon-reload
root@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl restart medusa.service
root@DietPi:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl status medusa.service

on DietPi, login as user root is quite simple as it is not locked and usually it's using same password a user dietpi (if not changed)

you could simply login as user root via SSH directly.
