No2: Correct way of running UMS as daemon?
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2019 11:47 pm
No2 - because it has been asked before, but a long time ago....
Have setup UMS, originally being run as me, on Ubuntu 18.04.3LTS x64 8GB, and run from the GUI, was able to set it up, it accessed the media, and all was good. But.....
The PC I am running it on, is basically headless(?), but does run a GUI, and I have access via Teamviewer, but generally connect using ssh, so I wish to configure UMS to run on startup, via systemd.
Have created a ums user, and set them as owner of the ums directory (setup under /opt/ums/)
Have created /etc/systemd/system/ums.service, containing:
Seems to be running, but is limping... Webpage is accessible, but no data (when originally run as user, data was present and accessible.)
Would guess that it is either a config issue (Have added my media directory to UMS.conf), or a permissions issue?
