I'm trying to run flask when my raspberry pi turns on. I created a service for my flask API, this is the service file:
[Unit]
Description= Flask API
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/bucketlist/
ExecStart=flask run --host=0.0.0.0
Restart=Always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
But when I try sudo systemctl start flask then sudo systemctl status flask I get this error.
Jun 10 09:56:40 raspberrypi flask[4769]: Usage: flask run [OPTIONS]
Jun 10 09:56:40 raspberrypi flask[4769]: Error: While importing "app", an ImportError was raised:

Jun 10 09:56:40 raspberrypi systemd[1]: flask_api.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
When I type flask run --host=0.0.0.0 manually it works fine, I don't know why the service gives this error.
More info:
I also tried python /home/pi/bucketlist/run.py instead of flask run --host=0.0.0.0 in ExecStart.
I have a virtual environment set-up in the bucketlist directory.
Python 2.7.16
Flask 1.1.4
Werkzeug 1.0.1
