- Change modem.py file so that the script will listen to your websocket channel
- You need to trigger events for your channel so that modem.py script catches the event and sends to the phone the message in the data that is being passed in the event
- To test it locally you can run command: python modem.py, but first you need to install the required libraries by typing: pip install ./requirements.txt
Yes, running your script with a process manager like Supervisor is a recommended approach for running it as a background service. Supervisor provides features such as process control, automatic restarts, and managing script execution on system boot.
Here's an example configuration for running your Python script with Supervisor:
Install Supervisor (if not already installed):
sudo apt-get install supervisor
Create a Supervisor configuration file for your script. For example, create a file named your_script.conf in the /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/your_script.conf
Add the following configuration to the file, replacing your_script.py with the actual filename and the path to your script:
[program:your_script]
command=python /path/to/your_script.py
directory=/path/to/your_script_directory
user=your_username
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/your_script.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/your_script.out.log
Note: Replace your_username with the appropriate username.
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Update Supervisor to read the new configuration:
sudo supervisorctl reread
Start your script as a supervised process:
sudo supervisorctl start your_script
Supervisor will now manage your script as a background service. You can check the status of your script with the following command:
sudo supervisorctl status your_script
To stop the script, use the following command:
sudo supervisorctl stop your_script
Supervisor will automatically start your script on system boot and handle process management, ensuring that it keeps running even if it crashes or encounters errors.
Create and activate a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv myenv # Create a virtual environment
source myenv/bin/activate # Activate the virtual environment
Install the required packages from the requirements.txt file:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once the virtual environment is activated and the dependencies are installed, you can run your code:
python modem.py
