(Outdated) Create an autostart script

Add MLSC to the autostart.

Using a systemd service, each time Raspberry Pi reboots, MLSC will run.

Stop MLSC if it is still running.

1. Create a file mlsc.service in /etc/systemd/system/:

sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/mlsc.service

2. Add the following to the created mlsc.service file:

[Unit]
Description=Music LED Strip Control
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/share/music_led_strip_control/server
ExecStart=python3 main.py
Restart=on-abnormal
RestartSec=10
KillMode=control-group

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Run the following commands to enable and start MLSC:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable mlsc.service

sudo systemctl start mlsc.service

4. Reboot:

sudo reboot

5. Check if the service is running:

sudo systemctl status mlsc.service

MLSC should now restart on reboot.

To remove the service from autostart, run the following commands:

sudo systemctl stop mlsc.service

sudo systemctl disable mlsc.service

Note: The WorkingDirectory specified in the service is /share. If you did not change anything during the installation, the service should work without issues.
