Hi I want to have a NixOS - Nginx - Gunicorn - Python Flask setup, but got stucked.
I managed to run gunicorn as a systemd service, but got the following feedback:
× versike_project.service - Gunicorn instance to serve versike_project
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/versike_project.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

In configuration.nix the systemd service user is defined to be the user nginx, however the flask-project (versike_project) is located at /home/picibucor/versike_project. It is no wonder that the user “nginx” does not have permission over /home/picibucor/versike_project.
I tried the command sudo chmod -R 755 /home/picibur/versike_project as well, but did not helped either.
Where should I create my flask-project to avoid the permission denied issue?
Is there anything else I could try to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.
