Using Flask, NGINX, and uWSGI I have setup successfully setup an app that I send and receive text messages through Twilio. Everything is working perfect, except that it is running under my personal user account (named trinitrogen). I'd like to move it to run off of a different user account(named apps) but am having trouble with the systemd unit file. The big crux of my difficulties, is I can't even find a good log of whatever the error is, so I'm not sure where to begin
First off, I based my work off this tutorial mostly had success with exactly what was shared
I created the new user and added it to wheel
[apps@argon ~]$ groups
apps wheel
Cloned the repo into apps home directory, setting up a virtualenv named venv inside the directory, installed all the python packages, successfully tested uwsgi in the command line
[apps@argon PowderMonitor]$ uwsgi --socket 10.0.0.221:8080 --protocol=http -w wsgi:app
It works great. I moved on to setting up the systemd file but this is where I've hit a wall. Below is the current file, along with the output after trying to restart the service.
[apps@argon PowderMonitor]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/TwilioApp.service

Below is an example of the TwilioApp.service file that functions perfectly under my trinitrogen account. Notice that the only thing I've changed in the User, and the 3 directories
[trinitrogen@argon PowderMonitor]$ cat TwilioApp.service.example

Below is the TwilioApp.ini that is used for uwsgi, it is the exact same between the version i successfully ran under my "trinitrogen" account, and my "apps" account.
[apps@argon PowderMonitor]$ cat TwilioApp.ini
[uwsgi]
module = wsgi:app
master = true
processes = 5
socket = TwilioApp.sock

vacuum = true
