key-value pairs where the = cannot be surrounded by spaces, so I have to write
[Service]
Type=oneshot
WorkingDirectory={{ home }}/current/
Environment=RAILS_ENV=production
ExecStart=/bin/sh -lc "bin/db-backup --verbose"
which fills me with sadness
- yjftsjthsd-h 5mo agoWhat? You absolutely can have spaces; most of mine look more like [Service] Type = oneshot WorkingDirectory = %h/current/ Environment = RAILS_ENV=production ExecStart = /bin/sh -lc "bin/db-backup --verbose"
- jjgreen 5mo agoFriend, you have changed my life
- weavie 5mo agoIs this one of those cases where at one point you had an error in the file and you figured it was down to spaces? You fixed that issue, it still didn't work but from that point you never thought to question the assumption. I find myself doing this sort of thing all the time..
- troyvit 5mo agoThat was (cough still is) ddclient for me.
- jjgreen 5mo agoSomewhere in my head I had that spaces caused a syntax error, and the UI for systemd is not obvious when you first start using it ... so if it's working then leave well alone. I'll be making all of my .service files (not so many) human-readable in the near future!
- bblb 5mo agoMy epiphany a month ago was that I can use Environment = MULTIPLE=environment VARIABLES="in single line"
- bingo-bongo 5mo agoJust remember: never use Environment= for secrets, since they are visible to all users on the system. (Use EnvironmentFile= instead)
- voxic11 5mo agoWhitespace immediately before or after the equals sign is completely ignored by the parser. Its the standard INI format.
