Set environment variable for Service resource

[Andrei Iacob]

Hello,
is there a way to configure a set of environment variables to be available to a Service resource similar to what Exec supports?

Looking at the documentation this doesn't seem to fit (except probably from the Manifest attribute but still can't figure out how) so is there a workaround for this such as exporting an environment variable globally? What I want to avoid doing is writing a bash script to export them and run it prior to the Service's actual start script.

Thanks!

Which OS (flavour, version)?

Bye...

In general, I'd say you would have to put the variables into a configuration file for the service (via a template, or an augeas resource), or if the service is managed by systemd, in the relevant '???.service' file.

Or, if the service file is shipped as part of a distribution package, in a '*.conf' file in the corresponding '???.service.d' directory (to be created), to avoid messing with distribution provided files.
