I have everything working well but when I reboot it does not auto-start. If I manually start it works fine.
here is what I get if I try to turn on auto start:
root@RetroPie:/boot# pironman -a on
enable auto-start at boot
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pironman.service does not exist.
restarting pironman
stopping pironman
pid=8142 10996
run in background
pironman start succeed
I tried starting over and reinstalling everything but get the same issue. any ideas what to try next?
Regarding the power-on autostart issue:
When the Pironman suddenly loses power, the motherboard chip will record the state and automatically boot up next time.
That is to say, when you directly unplug the power to turn off the machine, the motherboard chip will record the state, and the next time it will automatically turn on the machine.
If you press and hold the power button to turn off the computer, it will not turn on the computer next time, and you need to turn off the computer manually.
There is no command to control the power on/off of the pironman.
@SunFounder_Moderator Your response to @shigginswi does not address the original question. And I have the same (or similar) question. If I restate it differently, perhaps you can help both of us?
After I rebooted the Raspberry Pi 5 (installed in the Pironman 5 Max case), Linux resumes and I see all normal startup messages in the Syslog (as near as I can tell). However, the pironman5.service does not listen on port 34001, so when I attempt to use my browser to connect to the Pironman dashboard, I get web browser error:
This site canât be reached
mainframe refused to connect.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I have cleared browser cache and reloaded with same result. Investigating further on RP5 Debian Trixie Lite, and using SSH terminal, I see that the pironman5 daemon is not listening on port 34001 as expected. Here is output showing all listening ports:

This status message of â[WARNING] PM Dashboard not found skippingâ concerns me.
Have you installed the correct Pironman5 software?
You can refer to the installation guide here:
Download and install using the following commands:
cd ~
git clone -b max GitHub - sunfounder/pironman5: Code for Raspberry Pi 5 case (Pironman5) --depth 1
cd ~/pironman5
sudo python3 install.py
After confirming that the software has been installed successfully, please restart the system and check whether all functions are working properly, including whether the dashboard is accessible.
If any issues persist, we recommend providing the log information to help us analyze and resolve the problem:
cat /var/log/pironman5/main.log
Thank you for your response.
Here is the log file you requested. Note this error message had already been provided in my post. â[WARNING] PM Dashboard not found skippingâ

The Pironman dashboard website was previously functional, but stopped working for unknown reason. The OLED mini display is functioning, so I know the pironman5 daemon is at least partially functional. The problem is the server is not listening for http on port 34001.
(P.S. I am a technical user. Yes of course I installed using the instructions and of course I restarted the Raspberry Pi 5 computer, that is how I encountered the problem.)
@SunFounder_Moderator Someone else has this symptom, different thread. Let us know. Thanks!
We have followed the steps in your tutorial for testing and verification. The dashboard is accessible, and the data is displaying normally. The issue you encountered may be intermittent.
To better assist in diagnosing the problem, could you confirm: Are you currently booting your system from an SSD?
Additionally, after executing the following commands, does the problem persist?
sudo service pironman5 stop
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/influxdb/data/pironman5
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/influxdb/wal/pironman5
sudo service pironman5 start
You may also refer to the community discussion and solutions shared by other users regarding an empty dashboard here:https://forum.sunfounder.com/t/pironman-5-dashboard-empty/1218/51
Thank you for the reply.
I am booting from a micro SD (SDXC) 32GB flash memory card.
Ran those commands to stop daemon, remove the influxdb data and wal, start daemon, but this did not help. I also looked at the forum topic you linked to and read through it; nothing there seems to apply to my situation. Please note: the problem is the website is not running (at least not on port 34001) and I am getting warning message in the start up.â[WARNING] PM Dashboard not found skippingâ.

Please provide the following detailed information about your specific setup and the steps you have taken:
Information Needed:
Operating System Version: Which specific version of Raspberry Pi OS are you using?
Installation Steps: Please share the exact commands and procedure you followed to install the Pironman 5 software.
Other Software: Are any other significant software packages or services installed on the system?
Service Logs: Please provide the startup logs of the Pironman 5 service. You can check them with this command:
sudo journalctl -u pironman5 -n 50 --no-pager
Browser and Mode: Which web browser (and version) are you using to access the dashboard? Have you tried using the browserâs incognito/private mode?
Suggested Troubleshooting Steps:
If possible, we also recommend performing a fresh installation as a diagnostic step:
Try using a different SD card or SSD.
Install a clean version of the operating system.
Reinstall the Pironman 5 software following the official guide.
Check if the dashboard functions correctly on this new setup.
I will try a re-installation. Then if the symptom reoccurs, I will report back with the requested data.
The instructions contained an error in the formatting of the hyperlink, but I worked around it. I do not recall if I included the â-b maxâ and ââdepth 1â in my original install⌠This installation deviates from the instructions on the pironman5 git article.
After the restart the dashboard is once again working. Time will tell if it stays operational. Iâll give it a week and a few restarts.
Thanks for your help thus far.

Whether to restart for the changes to take effect(Y/N):
The pironman5 service seemed to have hung, the dashboard was unresponsive.
Is there a bug which is actively being worked to develop a fix?
But there is the work-around solution to dashboard missing: See sunfounder forum community solution
sudo service pironman5 stop
rm -rf /var/lib/influxdb/data/pironman5
rm -rf /var/lib/influxdb/wal/pironman5
influx
USE pironman5;
CREATE RETENTION POLICY â7dâ ON âpironman5â DURATION 7d REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT;
exit
sudo nano /opt/pironman5/venv/lib/python3./site-packages/pironman5/config.json
â edit file to change âdata_intervalâ: value from 1 to 5 or 10
â Ctrl-X and Y to save change
cat /opt/pironman5/venv/lib/python3./site-packages/pironman5/config.json
sudo systemctl restart influxdb
sudo systemctl restart pironman5
sudo pironman5 -c
Recommended Values:
data_interval = 1: Default (writes to InfluxDB every second) - High resource usage
data_interval = 5: Good balance - reduces writes by 80%
data_interval = 10: Recommended for resource savings - reduces writes by 90%
data_interval = 60: Minimal resource usage - only writes once per minute
Complete all of the numbered [1.], [2.], [3.] steps.

The default Pironman InfluxDB database is located in rootfs /var/lib/influxdb on the 32GB micro SD flash drive. Since I do not want to hammer this flash drive with constant writes (and thus increase the wear rate and reduce its useful life), it is important to redirect the DB writes to another disk. (It isnât like this monitoring history is critical, but the life of the micro SD flash drive is!) The procedure below updates the influxdb.conf to change the default location for the meta, data, and wal folders. Most of the commands must be run from elevated sudo (root). Your data disk UUID will vary, and of course, you can use a different name for your folders. The shell commands below are unique to my Raspberry Pi 5.
