No such file or directory - rtl_biast

I’m in the process of reinstalling my Satnogs ground station and I’m getting a problem enabling the RTL-SDR.com Bias-T Software Switch, rtl_biast.
The Satnogs Client is version 1.9.3, which is running in a docker container I believe.
I followed the instructions here but I get the following error logged when the pre and post observation scripts run: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/home/pi/rtl_biast/build/src/rtl_biast’
I’ve check the path, and it works fine from the command line, so the past and the script entry are correct, I suspect that it is something to do with the client not having access to that location.

Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this?

Good morning,

To enable the RTL-SDR BiasT you no longer need rtl_biast.

run sudo satnogs-setup and configure SATNOGS_DEV_ARGS=biastee=true

And what is also good to know, the new satnogs-client is running inside a docker container and no longer on the localhost.
