I have a tmuxinator (note not tmux, tmuxinator) project running on Ubuntu 18.04 (running in headless/server mode). My tmuxinator project file is located in the default directory of /home/karsh/.tmuxinator/testProject.yml. When I am SSH'ed into the system and just run tmuxinator start testProject via the terminal, everything runs normally and a new Tmux session gets launched with my project configurations.
My goal is to run this command automatically when the computer boots up. My approach was to create a systemd service file located at /etc/systemd/system/testProject.service with the following settings:
[Unit]
Description=Test Project
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tmuxinator start testProject
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
However, when I start this service via sudo systemctl start testProject.service, it crashes. Upon checking status using sudo systemctl status testProject.service, I get the following errors:
● testProject.service - Test Project
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/testProject.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

It seems that when running via systemd, tmuxinator is not able to locate /home/karsh/.tmuxinator/testProject.yml file and says that the project does not exist.
How can I give systemd access to the /home/<user>/ directories, assuming that's the problem?
