I do the following:
The application is started by the script as a daemon running as a different user. I switched users and confirmed that the environment variable is also available to them

Nothing here starts your application.
How do you set it?
Systemd? Initrc? Anything else? Depending on your overal system configuration you might set the environment explicitely in the services start script.

Sorry for late response. It was midnight as we were talking in my county so had to call it a night from fatigue. My application is setup as a Systemd daemon so when the compilation is done, this is how it looks the line that will start the compiled code
ExecStart=/home/app/my_app/prod/rel/my_app/bin/myapp start
I set the environment variables on the os by simply editing the /etc/environment file
Let me try set it explicitly.

I resolved this. I expected it to work out of the box as it did in my WSL configuration. However, didn’t know that systemd limited access to only variables set on service start. Thanks for your time and pointing me to the right direction with your questions
