I think I'm going to have to spin up a VM to understand why you're doing things the way they are, instead of using a .env file with the docker-compose.yml, or docker secrets. The built-in way to run containers is very straightforward, and it seems at first glance that you're making it a bit more complicated than it needs to be. There's no need to mess with systemctl at all, for example.
