I have created a small golang API (nrfapi) which include a config.toml file. I would like to deploy the api on other ubuntu VM therefore i build the API using the "GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build" and then scp the build file to the VM /var/www/go diretory. I also create a unit file (nrf.service) ending in .service within the /etc/systemd/system directory. In the .service file i have the following configuration
[Unit]
Description= instance to serve nrf api
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=www-data
ExecStart=/var/www/go/nrfapi)
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
ERROR

However, after starting the API using the following commands
sudo systemctl start nrfapi sudo systemctl enable nrfapi
the API is not running. I realize from the error message above that the API need the config.toml file configurations.
My problem now is that i dont know which directory to place the config.toml file so that the golang api can read the configuration parameters from there. Can anyone help me solve this? How do i go about this?
