Systemd Victory!

I decided I really wanted to make systemd work with my node server, it will simplify things once I get my githook working. It took much trial and error, I even tried creating shell scripts to handle the environment but systemd did not like those either. However I will post the .service file I used to finally get things working (some elements have been changed for security purposes):
