Hello Community!

I have a Problem with starting my application via systemctl command.
The application run under a non root user and If i start the app with the Systemctl command, neccessary Environment variables doesn't apply.

I have set the User in the /etc/systemd/System/myapp.service file

Starting the app the normal way works without Problems, because the Settings from
/home/myuser/.bash_profile are working.

How can I configure systemd, that only for myapp.service additional Environment Settings should be applied?

Thanks
Richi

I imagine this is for the same reasons you have when doing things through cron or older init scripts. To whit: The user environment is NOT invoked by background processes as it is by login shells.

Read this blog I wrote that talks about other things you'd need to include for a script running in cron or init. You likely need them for systemd as well.

I found another link that talks about setting environment variables in systemd unit files:
https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/us...emd-units.html

Using the principles from the first link and the method in the second link you should be able to determine what you need to add to your unit file.
