Can not automatically start auth0 (shiny)

[clemens.haerder]

Dear

I have set up auth0 to run on my ubuntu server, where I have primarily shiny apps running on a shiny server.
If I manually trigger:

$ cd /home/<username>/shiny-auth0
$ node bin/www

the app runs as expected, having changed the proxy_pass & redirect to 3000 for auth0.

I have set

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/shiny-auth0.service

so that the service should boot with the system.
But when I execute

$ sudo systemctl enable shiny-auth0
$ sudo systemctl start shiny-auth0

It just does not work.

I get the journal with
sudo journalctl -u shiny-auth0

and get the message:

But I have the .env file configurated in
/home//shiny-auth0/

Do you know what I am missing?

Thanks!

Hey @clemens.haerder any luck or solution to this ? Im facing the same issue.

[wal]

Actually I just figured this out

If you run
$ sudo journalctl -u shiny-auth0

you should be able to see the error

It’s missing a WorkingDirectory directive in the shiny-auth0.service file

e.g

WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/shinyapps/shiny-auth0

Hey @wal thanks for the reply!
I am still facing the issue though, even by setting the working directory as you outlined in the .service file in
[Services]
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/shiny-auth0

ubuntu@ip-172-31-47-49:~$ sudo journalctl -u shiny-auth0
