Environment variables don't work in Liquidsoap

Question

I've spent all night trying to get environment variables to take their value in Liquidsoap.

The result they return is always empty.

log("Variable SOURCE_PASSW: " ^ getenv("SOURCE_PASSW"))
log("Variable PASSWORD_DJ: " ^ getenv("PASSWORD_DJ"))
log("Variable PASSWORD_ADMIN: " ^ getenv("PASSWORD_ADMIN"))

2023/08/22 09:40:25 [lang:3] Variable SOURCE_PASSW: 
2023/08/22 09:40:25 [lang:3] Variable PASSWORD_DJ: 
2023/08/22 09:40:25 [lang:3] Variable PASSWORD_ADMIN: 

I have defined the environment variables here: /etc/environment

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin"
TELNET_USERNAME=client_metadata
TELNET_PASSWORD=985421
ADMIN_ICECAST=admin
PASSWORD_ADMIN=9632541
PASSWORD_DJ=20548798
SOURCE_PASSW=05897445
RELAY_PASSW=635478

In Ubuntu 22.04 SSH console they work fine:

icecast2@ip-17x-xx-xx-xxx:~/liquidsoap-daemon/script$ echo $PASSWORD_ADMIN

9632541

Icecast version: Icecast 2.4.4

Liquidsoap version: Liquidsoap 2.1.4 (installed with OCaml Package Manager (opam))

Does anyone know a way to make them work for me in the .liq script?

Answer 1

I already found the solution. I forgot to mention that I use liquidsoap as a daemon. I edited the service file and added the line

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment

And that did the magic!:)
