Answer 1

I got a similar problem when deploying gunicorn.service. And I passed environment variables to it by a file:

[Service]
...
EnvironmentFile=/pathto/somefilewith_secrets
...

For example (cat /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service)

[Unit]  
Description=gunicorn daemon  
After=network.target  
  
[Service]  
User=ubuntu
Group=ubuntu
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/10008/digichainOpen
EnvironmentFile=/home/ubuntu/10008/digichainOpen/.env
ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/.local/share/virtualenvs/digichainOpen-Zk2Jnvjv/bin/gunicorn \
          --worker-class=gevent --workers 4 \
          --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/10008/digichainOpen/gunicorn.sock digichainOpen.wsgi:application
            
[Install]  
WantedBy=multi-user.target  

and the .env file can be:

my_var=someValue
some_secret=secretvalue
another_secret=blah
