Unable to run as service

[jacob-hamblett]

Run the recommended commands to execute this project as a service on the host:

sudo cp bt-proxy.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now bt-proxy

The service fails to start on boot with the following error logs:

Apr 06 14:17:17 Pi (uv)[3712]: bt-proxy.service: Unable to locate executable 'uv': No such file or directory
Apr 06 14:17:17 Pi (uv)[3712]: bt-proxy.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning uv: No such file or directory
Apr 06 14:17:17 Pi systemd[1]: bt-proxy.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
Apr 06 14:17:17 Pi systemd[1]: bt-proxy.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Heya, you'd need uv available in the PATH of the environment that the service is running under (eg, root user). Alternatively, there's a Docker image build availble now. Installing uv and modifying the unit to use the full path to uv should work too, eg:

ExecStart=/path/to/uv run python -m bt_proxy --log-level INFO

I ran into the same issue and thought my choice was either install uv for root, which I did not want to do, or run the service as a user.

I opted for the latter, but it still refused to run. The workaround was to give the full path to python in the venv. That has been working for me. The venv was created by the user running the service.

User=<myuser>
ExecStart=/opt/bt-proxy/.venv/bin/python -m bt_proxy --log-level INFO
