I'm trying to create an autostart service for my python-flask-socketio server.
I need to start a python script through systemd. Here's my service code:
[Unit]
Description=AppName
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /opt/myapp/app.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If I try to start it manually using sudo service myservice start
- it works just fine. It halts my terminal\ssh window but I can close it and it works like expected.
But when I reboot my PC it does not start. When checking it's status with systemctl status myservice
I get the following:
systemd[1]: Starting My Service...
systemd[1]: myserivce.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating.
systemd[1]: Failed to start My Service.
systemd[1]: myserivce.service: Unit entered failed state.
systemd[1]: myserivce.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
What am I doing wrong here?
