Future of Plexamp on Raspberry Pi?

Working for me with a pi4 and allo digione HAT (spdif out to an external DAC) :slight_smile:

On a fresh 64 bit install of raspberry pi os lite …

Recommended/original plexamp.service didn’t start on reboot … noticed some errors related to node and groups?

Changed to a user service (~/.config/systemd/user/plexamp.service)
(note, I think this also might help prevent issues related to different user names)

Made some changes to the service file …


[Unit]
Description=Plexamp
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/pi/plexamp/js/index.js
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target


Maybe on a lite install (no desktop environment, for headless-only use), the multi-user target is never reached due to no desktop environment, so then the original plexamp.service didn’t start either ? … switched to basic.target

systemctl --user enable plexamp.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

reboot, check again …

systemctl --user

now plexamp.service is running :slight_smile:
