AM NOW DEBUGGING SYSTEMD, AND HAVING TO LEARN THE INTERNALS.

ALL OF THE RAGE

not kidding, we fixed it with:

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/varnish
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "/bin/echo ${DAEMON_OPTS} && /usr/sbin/varnishd ${DAEMON_OPTS}"

Because otherwise systemd would randomly eat parts of ${DAEMON_OPTS}. oh yes, we *also* had to make DAEMON_OPTS a single line, because *something* didn't like '\' continuation chars.

systemd is the worst software I've ever had to use, and I've used AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and 16-bit Windows Payroll software.

As much as Ansible can be a paid in the proverbial sometimes at least it's extended yaml stuff is powerful enough to not make you tear your hair our most of the time.
