Running and status

이 콘텐츠는 아직 번역되지 않았습니다.

Two services make up the appliance. Run these commands on the device, over ssh.

	Backend (and the detection pipeline it supervises)	Video relay
Is it running	`systemctl is-active edgevision-api`	`docker ps --filter name=edge-relay`
Start	`sudo systemctl start edgevision-api`	`docker start edge-relay`
Stop	`sudo systemctl stop edgevision-api`	`docker stop edge-relay`
Log	`~/backend.log`	`docker logs edge-relay`

The backend log is a file in the login’s home folder. journalctl -u edgevision-api shows nothing, by design.

Two behaviours that look like faults but are not

A stopped relay stays stopped. Its restart policy brings it back after a reboot or a Docker restart, but deliberately not after an explicit docker stop. In the same way, the backend being enabled means it starts at boot, not that it is running now.
The backend can run with no video. The two are independent. A missing relay shows as camera tiles with no picture, not as a failed service. When the relay is back, the backend restores its camera paths at its next check, which runs every 30 seconds by default, with no restart.

Check a device

# The appliance answers.
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' http://<address>:5080/health/live      # 200

# It starts again after a reboot.
ssh <login>@<address> 'systemctl is-enabled edgevision-api'                      # enabled

# Which version it runs.
ssh <login>@<address> 'cat ~/edgevision/VERSION'

Then open the console and watch Live View: the boxes should sit on the objects, and the reported rate should hold.

Where things are

Path on the device	What it is
`~/edgevision/EdgeVision.Api`	The backend program
`~/edgevision/wwwroot/`	The operator console
`~/edgevision/edgevision.db`	The database (SQLite)
`~/edgevision/appliance.json`	Seeds the first camera and the built-in models
`~/edgevision/models/`	Uploaded models and the engines built from them
`~/edgevision/install.log`	Everything the installer printed
`~/backend.log`	The backend log

After the first start, the database is the authority for cameras and models, not appliance.json.

Back up the database

The installer snapshots the database before each update and keeps three. To take one by hand, stop the service first. A copy taken while the service holds the file is not consistent.

ssh <login>@<address> 'sudo systemctl stop edgevision-api && cd ~/edgevision \
  && cp -p edgevision.db backups/manual-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ).db \
  && sudo systemctl start edgevision-api'
