After following "Build from source" direction, I attempt to start the service and get the titled error in the syslog. My cloned dir is /home/pi/petfeedd. My pi is a model 3 B+. I'm not super familiar with creating services, but could this be a directory error within the petfeedd.service file? Also, why did the directions create a user, but never use it? The user in the petfeedd.service file is root.

Upon starting petfeedd the service starts but unable to communicate with GPIO even though everything installs correctly.

I have started my container with the following:

docker run -d --restart always --privileged -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime -v /opt/petfeedd.db:/petfeedd/petfeedd.db -v /etc/petfeedd.conf:/petfeedd/petfeedd.conf -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 -p 0.0.0.0:11211:11211 peckrob/petfeedd-arm32v6

I have placed petfeedd.conf in the folder and per the logs it seems to be seeing the config. Despite this, setting my GPIO pin to 27, nothing happens when clicking feed now. I have verified I can manually trigger this pin outside of petfeedd.

Config file found at ./petfeedd.conf

If it means anything, I'm running on a pi zero w.

I have an existing pet feeder i've modified to run with a relay and pi, not a servo. Would it be possible to use this for that purpose instead?

hey, very nice work with the docker-image :-D i am currently building a new cat-feeder using your code and so far it works perfect!

i found one minor issue though:
the docker image seems not respect the local timezone of the raspberry:

• Pi is set to timezone "Europe/Zurich" using raspi-config
• $ date shows correct local date and time
• $ docker run --privileged -v /opt/petfeedd.db:/petfeedd/petfeedd.db -v /etc/petfeedd.conf:/petfeedd/petfeedd.conf -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 peckrob/petfeedd-arm32v7 with logging=enabled shows all times from docker-container are 1 hour off (eg: local date on raspberry=23:10:33 - log-entry in docker-container = 22:10:33)

would be nice if there would be an option to respect this

Is it possible to add the seconds to the schedule feeds? I have a particular Kitty that will go to the feeder that comes out first and he runs fast while his brother takes his time, So we always try to set out feeders a maximum of 5 to 10 seconds apart so the kitty will go for his first, but since these are regular internal electronic clocks on the feeders, both feeders will eventually get out of sync within 2 days. Thanks!

I just attempted to install petfeed on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, I had a bit of an issue with the dependencies but I seem to have gotten them resolved. Hashes did not match. I have an issue where I can get to petted via my web browser, but the settings page is blank with just the navigation banner displayed. Is this intended?

Hello,

I have just installed the Docker version and I'm getting the error below:

Prior to installing and running this, I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Love this project and excited to get it working. I've assembled everything and tried installing the code in the virtual environment as instructed. No dice there, so I tried making sure all dependencies are installed globally (the raspberry pi here is single-purpose for me, so not too concerned about this) and just running the code straight. Here's what I get:

Will the program work also to dispense water into the bowl? I imagine I'd have to get a different new rotator that would be water tight.
