Hello, im trying to make a simple systemd service to autosync my nextcloud. However the process fails with Invalid environment variable name evaluates to an empty string: (cat
It seems to more an issue about my lack of unix understanding as an issues with nixos itself. im relatively new and thus sorry to bother with this kind of problem.
when i run the command manually with my user (fschn) it works.
How can i ensure the process has access to the deployed secrets/credentials? or is in the right environment…
really appreciate any hint into the right direction. thank you!
nix config:
sops.secrets."Nextcloud/my-user/user" = {
owner = config.users.users.fschn.name;
mode = "0400";
};
sops.secrets."Nextcloud/my-user/password" = {
owner = config.users.users.fschn.name;
mode = "0400";
};
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
nextcloud-client
];
systemd.services.nextcloud-autosync = {
unitConfig = {
Description = "Auto sync Nextcloud";
After = "network-online.target";
};
script = "${pkgs.nextcloud-client}/bin/nextcloudcmd -h --user $(cat ${config.sops.secrets."Nextcloud/my-user/user".path}) --password $(cat ${config.sops.secrets."Nextcloud/
▍ ↪ my-user/password".path}) --path /InstantUpload/OpenCamera '/tank/Photos/Phone Pixel 8A/OpenCamera' https://cloud.fschn.org";
serviceConfig = {
User = config.users.users.fschn.name
};
