Remote Service

This micro-service is found in the mikapod/remote_service.py file and is responsible for polling the latest instrumentation data and saving it to our local persistent storage.

While being logged in as pi run the following:

$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/mikapod_remote.service

Copy and paste the following contents.

[Unit]
Description=Mikapod Remote Daemon
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/home/pi/mikapod-soil-rpi/scripts/remote.sh
Restart=on-failure
KillSignal=SIGTERM

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

We can now start the Gunicorn service we created and enable it so that it starts at boot:
```
sudo systemctl start mikapod_remote
sudo systemctl enable mikapod_remote
```

Confirm our service is running.

sudo systemctl status mikapod_remote.service

If the service is working correctly you should see something like this at the bottom:
```
raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started Mikapod Remote Daemon.
```
Congradulations, you have setup the remote micro-service! This service will be polling the latest local persistent storage data and submit it to the remote API web-service.
If you see any problems, run the following service to see what is wrong. More information can be found in this article.
```
sudo journalctl -u mikapod_remote
```
