I have a Node.js application cloned on an AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux 2.
I can execute the project's server.js file just fine:
[ec2-user@ip-*********** portfolio_v3]$ nvm use 16
Now using node v16.19.1
[ec2-user@ip-*********** portfolio_v3]$ MAIL_JET_API_KEY_PRIVATE="..." NYT_API_KEY="..." node server.js
...
I am trying to create a systemd service so that the app will run all the time, and am following along with this walkthrough
I have the following in /etc/systemd/system/portfolio-v3.service
[Unit]
Description=portfolio-v3
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Environment=MJ_API_KEY_PRIVATE=1234567890
Environment=NYT_API_KEY=1234567890
ExecStart=/home/.nvm/versions/node/v16.19.1/bin/node /home/ec2-user/portfolio-v3/server.js
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=portfolio-v3
User=ec2-user
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I have run all the following in various orders:
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/portfolio-v3.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable portfolio-v3.service
sudo systemctl start portfolio-v3.service
But I keep seeing the following:
$ sudo systemctl status portfolio-v3.service
ā portfolio-v3.service - portfolio-v3
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/portfolio-v3.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Thanks :)
