 Lily Foster | Oof that means it did not do the environment variable interpolation | 20:20:42 |
| Lily Foster | I thought ExecStart did but maybe it doesn't do that var | 20:20:58 |
 shaniag | ok, should i put that stuff in script? | 20:21:12 |
| Lily Foster | You could. Try just using %d in place of $CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY real quick though and see if that works | 20:22:52 |
| Lily Foster | (Still with ExecStart to test) | 20:23:01 |

You could. Try just using %d in place of $CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY real quick though and see if that works okayy, so this works for some reason | 20:26:14 |
| Lily Foster | Neat apparently ExecStart does substitute env vars but it does so earlier than that var exists. But they provide %d for use in certain unit options and I guess you have to use that when it's for creds and in the execstart line | 20:27:28 |
| Lily Foster | It's probably due to Arcane Nonsense™️ so it might be best to just accept that that's the case and use it 😅 | 20:28:28 |

| shaniag | Can I somehow shorten this?
${pkgs.nodejs_20}/bin/node dbInit.js && ${pkgs.nodejs_20}/bin/node index.js --token=%d/bot.token
| 20:28:54 |
| Lily Foster | You could make dbInit a ExecStartPre option | 20:31:36 |
| Lily Foster | If you did use npm-installed bins too then you wouldn't need the ${pkgs.nodejs_20}/bin/node part either :) | 20:32:45 |

| Lily Foster | Yeah I definitely get it, I'm happy to help with whatever works for you | 20:33:41 |
| shaniag | The problem is now my nextcloud broke lmao | 20:33:48 |
