source .bashrc in passenger-app script about passenger-systemd

[driehuis]

In general, .profile and .bashrc are geared toward setting up an environment for interactive use, so if you can get your app to work without sourcing .bashrc my recommendation would be not to source .bashrc.

That said, I've seen many deployments which source .bashrc just because that's where an interactive setup of, say, rbenv or rvm leaves the magic to hook up the ruby version manager by default. It's not wrong, it's just brittle.

Not sure if the issue tracker is the best venue for this discussion BTW.

I agree with @driehuis, as the apps are run as system services, they should run mostly independent of some user's shell profiles. That being said, this repo provides just example files which you're free to adapt to your local setup. I'd however recommend to put any environment configurations in a separate file, to make them reproducible.

Actually, an earlier version of passenger-systemd required a so-called env file, which is a feature supported by systemd:

passenger-systemd/[email protected]

Line 12 in cdb4dff

EnvironmentFile=/apps/%i/current/config/passenger.env

There even was a rake task to generate it, which hasn't been removed yet, although it's no longer used. If you need special environment settings for your apps to run, it might be a way to go. Just change your local service file accordingly.

@driehuis @mtgrosser thanks for the tip, it's very much appreciated. I'm closing this then ;)
