I am trying to create a Golang server using the gin framework on ubuntu. It works fine when it is executed in the terminal after building it with go build and equally works well locally.
Systemd
Description=goapp [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=5s ExecStart=/home/.../goapp/main [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
I got this error
goapp.service - rediate Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/goapp.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2022-09-29 08:14:10 UTC; 66ms ago Process: 21628 ExecStart=/home/.../go/goapp/main (code=exited, status=2) Main PID: 21628 (code=exited, status=2) CPU: 9ms

Adding a working directory to the systemd fix this error.
