Best way to have Configurator autostart in Hassbian?

Configuration
1

I just recently switched from Hass.io to Hassbian. Most of everything worked right away once I copied over the config directory. Two main things that I am having to setup manually is appdaemon and configurator. I have appdaemon setup and working as well as set to autostart.

I currently have Configurator working, just need to have it autostart when Home Assistant reboots. Looking at the documentation, it has me edit:

/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]

with the following:

[Unit]
Description=HASS-Configurator
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=homeassistant
#Set the path to your configurator.py location
WorkingDirectory=/etc/homeassistant
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /etc/homeassistant/configurator.py settings.conf
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

However, I have already done something similar with appdaemon. So that service already has that template in it for appdaemon. My question is, can I add the Configurator template below what I already have for appdaemon or will there be a conflict with the headers? Or is there a better way of going about this? I feel I’m overthinking it.

You need a separate .service file for each service you start. So put that code in a file called /etc/systemd/system/configurator.service then

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start configurator.service
$ sudo systemctl enable configurator.service

You should also have separate service files for appdaemon and homeassistant, and from your post I’m not sure that is the case.

It is not, I will get that fixed.

Edit: I stand corrected appdaemon is its own service.

Hi,

Did you guys get to the bottom of this? Can anyone help me get the configurator working?

I have got as far as executing the sudo ./configurator.py command which gives the following

INFO:2019-07-09 11:46:06,200:main:Starting server
INFO:2019-07-09 11:46:06,201:main:Listening on: http://0.0.0.0:3218

What do I do next? Does this mean the configurator has started?

I have also added information for the iframe in the configuration file, however am not sure which url to enter?

Hope this makes sense and thanks
