pi user for service

[xanderphillips]

Current versions of raspian do not have pi as a user so service fails to start:

waterfurnace_aurora/contrib/aurora_mqtt_bridge.service

[Unit]
Description=Aurora MQTT Bridge

[Service]
User=pi

[0n3man]

You can just change the username to the user you set up on your system prior to putting the service file in place. Or after you've put it in place, as there is no requirement that this code runs as user pi.

Yes, I did update the user on mine but wanted to call it out, as it's not currently documented to update the User to an account that has rights to run the service. Many people may not know to do it and fail to see why their service isn't starting.
