Useful commands

Check Status

sudo systemctl status vop

This will show you if the service is running or why it failed to run

Follow logs

journalctl -u vop -f

This shows the running logs that surfaces all the things the VOP is doing and any error messages that doesn't come up in the GUI

Disable Auto-Start

sudo systemctl disable vop

This stops the vop from autostarting the service at boot.

Make it autostart by using enable instead.

Stopping and starting VOP daemon

# Stopping the vop daemon
sudo systemctl stop vop
# Starting the daemon
sudo systemctl start vop

Nice to have's

In order to reach into the VOP's file system to pull out full sized TIFFs and old ProRes or Workprints, I would recommend mounting the VOP folders to a PC through SSHFS

In Linux I use:

# Make sure the folder exists
mkdir -p /Documents/vop-mnt
# Mount the pi to that folder: 
sshfs pi4-vop:/home/vop /Documents/vop-mnt

I do need to rerun the sshfs any time the Pi or the computer reboots.
