I'm following the isync wiki, I enabled the mbsync.service referenced under section 4.2.1 of the wiki. but it fails to prompt for my gpg password, It works if I first cache my password manually and then manually start the service, but that defeats the purpuse of the service. calling mbsync -a from the command line works as expected.
I also get this same problem with the service that comes with goimapnotify mentioned in section 4.2.2 of the wiki.
output of "systemctl --user status mbsync.service":

I have the following lines under .bashrc:
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye >/dev/null
this resolved a similar problem I was getting when calling goimapnotify manually.
and this on my ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses
This is my first time working with systemd services. I understand environmental variables are not inherited to user units
and StandardInput defaults to /dev/null
but I don't know what environmental variables I need to set if any, or what to set StandardInput and StandardOutput to if at boot I haven't even opened a terminal
Right now my services are the same as the wiki's
