When i run
sudo journalctl -u gunicorn
I get:
Oct 14 12:49:22 my-server-thing systemd[1]: gunicorn.service: Failed to load environment files: Is a directory
Oct 14 12:49:22 my-server-thing systemd[1]: gunicorn.service: Failed to run 'start' task: Is a directory
Oct 14 12:49:22 my-server-thing systemd[1]: gunicorn.service: Failed with result 'resources'.
Oct 14 12:49:22 my-server-thing systemd[1]: Failed to start gunicorn daemon.
I suppose something doesn’t add up with my directories. I have /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service which is:
[Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
Requires=gunicorn.socket
After=network.target
[Service]
User=myname
Group=myname
EnvironmentFile=/home/myname/myapp/env
WorkingDirectory=/home/myname/myapp
ExecStart=/home/myname/myapp/env/bin/gunicorn \
--access-logfile - \
--workers 3 \
--bind unix:/run/gunicorn.sock \
myapp.wsgi:application
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The directories I’m working in are as follows.
myapp/
has my requirements.txt file, my env, and another app/ dir. Within myapp/app, I have manage.py and another app/ env. Within myapp/app/app, I have settings.py and wsgi.py.
What am I doing wrong?

For more clarification, Even if you have your environmental variables exported in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc you need to have the environment defined for the service. You can use those files by adding EnviromentFile=home/user/.bash_profile to the [Service] block
