[systemd-devel] Unable to get Systemd to work with Phoenix/Elixir Exrm Release

[Michael Chavez]

Hello,

I am a newbie trying to get systemd to load my phoenix/elixir app.

I have tried many variations of my hello-phoenix service file, the version
that I feel is closest to being correct looks like this:
[Unit]
Description=hello-phoenix service

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/hello-phoenix/app/bin
ExecStart=/home/hello-phoenix/app/bin/hello_phoenix start
Environment=MIX_ENV=prod PORT=8888
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=hello-phoenix
User=hello-phoenix

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

after reloading daemon, enabling and starting the hello-phoenix.service,
systemctl status hello-phoenix.service outputs:

● hello-phoenix.service - hello-phoenix service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hello-phoenix.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Thu 2016-07-07 10:14:30 EDT;
9min ago
  Process: 4281 ExecStart=/home/hello-phoenix/app/bin/hello_phoenix start
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 4281 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Jul 07 10:14:30 Phoenix1 systemd[1]: hello-phoenix.service start request
repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
Jul 07 10:14:30 Phoenix1 systemd[1]: Failed to start hello-phoenix service.
Jul 07 10:14:30 Phoenix1 systemd[1]: Unit hello-phoenix.service entered

Jul 07 10:14:33 Phoenix1 systemd[1]: Failed to start hello-phoenix service.

and journalctl -xn outputs:

--report /etc/cron.hourly)

Anybody have any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am on day two of ramming
my head against the wall trying to figure out. Any help would greatly
appreciated.

Thanks and Cheers,
Michael
