Orange Pi Zero - Debian Jessie - getting Octoprint to auto-start

[Brian Greul]

I'm having difficulty getting Octoprint to start.

 

I've set it up in init.d and defaults.

 

When I execute it directly I get an error about running as root.  It's like it's ignoring the octoprint_user.

 

/etc/default/octoprint:

# Configuration for /etc/init.d/octoprint

 

# The init.d script will only run if this variable non-empty.

OCTOPRINT_USER=octoprint

 

# base directory to use

#BASEDIR=/home/octoprint/OctoPrint

 

# configuration file to use

#CONFIGFILE=/home/pi/.octoprint/config.yaml

 

# On what port to run daemon, default is 5000

PORT=5000

 

# Path to the OctoPrint executable, you need to set this to match your installation!

DAEMON=/home/octoprint/OctoPrint/octoprint

 

# What arguments to pass to octoprint, usually no need to touch this

DAEMON_ARGS="--port=$PORT"

 

# Umask of files octoprint generates, Change this to 000 if running octoprint as its own, separate user

UMASK=000

 

# Process priority, 0 here will result in a priority 20 process.

# -2 ensures Octoprint has a slight priority over user processes.

NICELEVEL=-2

 

# Should we run at startup?

START=yes

 

 

/etc/init.d/octoprint is stock from the distro

 

Output when I run it manually:

root@orangepizero:/etc/init.d# octoprint

Starting the server via "octoprint" is deprecated, please use "octoprint serve" from now on.

You should not run OctoPrint as root!

root@orangepizero:/etc/init.d#

 

Any suggestions on how to figure out why it will not run via service octoprint start?
