bug: Unable to start the server without opening the terminal in Raspberry Pi, unable to set autostart on boot with crontab about jiotv_go HOT 10 CLOSED

Please post your crontab / supervisor configuration scripts and tell us steps you taken to perform this.

from jiotv_go.

crontab: @reboot /home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go background run -a "--public"

supervisorctl: [program:jiotv]
command=/home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go background run -a "--public --config /h>
directory=/home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/
user=pi
autostart=true
autorestart=true
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/jiotv.log

I tried using crontab as pi user, root user but still jiotvgo does not start on reboot.

I reboot the Pi everyday at midnight and everything works properly except for this script.

from jiotv_go.

crontab: @reboot /home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go background run -a "--public"

supervisorctl: [program:jiotv]

In your crontab script
Can u please set the environment variable HOME=/home/pi and check

from jiotv_go.

@reboot HOME= /home/pi /home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go background run -a "--public"
this is how I edited the crontab line, but still jiotvgo does not start after reboot.
The script was started in the background before I rebooted the pi

from jiotv_go.

@reboot HOME= /home/pi /home/pi/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go background run -a "--public"
this is how I edited the crontab line, but still jiotvgo does not start after reboot.
The script was started in the background before I rebooted the pi

Remove space after =
HOME=/home/pi

hello
the crontab script worked for 2 days but then it stopped again.
even your docker container does not have option for --restart=always.
crontab works well for other commands. the syntax is also exactly as per your instructions.
what is the solution?

from jiotv_go.

For those facing issues with Pi autostart, you need to set the full path. This worked for me:

sudo crontab -e

@reboot /root/.jiotv_go/bin/jiotv_go bg run --args "--host 0.0.0.0 --port 5001"

Try with root user

Thanks @sloBlocks for the hint !

from jiotv_go.

the above solution did not work.
As per the latest update, I followed the guide to create an user, usergroup and daemon to autostart.
the script worked for 3 days, but it stopped working today.

this was the output i got after giving sudo systemctl status jiotv_go:

@dhanuhammer The error is because of JioTV Go Bug in Auth service.
This thread shall be closed and another one should be opened with your logs, right when u experienced crash.
