I am running V5 and I put all my venv files into /opt so I have to remember to run the full path: EG sudo /opt/weewx/weewx-venv/bin/wee_reports --config=/opt/weewx/weewx-data/weewx.conf
To use the venv I run :source /opt/weewx/weewx-venv/bin/activate also if you want to exit the venv type the command: *deactivate* Like Tom said the systemctl uses the full path: ExecStart=/opt/weewx/weewx-venv/bin/python3 /opt/weewx/weewx-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/weewxd.py /opt/weewx/weewx-data/weewx.conf I am running weewx as root user but my config files have my user permissions and ownership.
