I have a daemon Python script in my conda environment which I run it:
source activate my_env
python my_server.py
I would like to convert it to as systemd service, so I created my_server.service file:
[Service]
User=myuser
Group=myuser
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/myuser/.conda/envs/my_env/bin/python /path/to/my_server.py
This does not work because the systemd is being run as the root user and I can not activate the conda environment to get the all path right.
What is the correct way to create a systemd service when the executable requires a specific conda env to run?

Create required Anaconda environment conda create --name environmentName python=3 pandas numpy . Include all your dependencies at once while creating the environment. Switch to the environment with conda activate environmentName . Executing the python script python fileName.py .
1.No, if you're using conda, you don't need to use any other tool for managing virtual environments (such as venv, virtualenv, pipenv etc).
You can run systemd services on user level instead of running on system level, which will run it as root user. Instead of putting the .service file on /etc/systemd/system directory, you have put the file inside ~/.config/systemd/user/ directory and no need of User and Group derivative. For example:
[Unit]
Description=Description
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/
ExecStart=/home/myuser/.conda/envs/my_env/bin/python my_server.py
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Instead of starting this service with privileged permission, you can start with the running user permission using systemctl --user start/restart/stop servicename command. No need of sudo privilege or password.
