I somehow managed to get pypilot installed and running on OpenPlotter 4. But I'm having trouble getting the service to start automatically. It refuses to run within its virtual environment and fails due to missing dependencies.
Here's the systemd unit file:
This service starts and runs fine when launched manually, e.g. systemctl start pypilot. But systemd does something different.
Here's the systemd unit file:
