Where I can find the source for systemd_rails script?

+1, this isn't very helpful without the systemd_rails script

you need to create wapper script with rvm

$ su user
$ cd /home/user/app_name
$ alias create [app_name] ruby-[version]@[gemset_name]

and then use this path in puma.serviceconfig path like

$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/puma.service
...
User=user
...
ExecStart=/home/[user]/.rvm/wrappers/[app_name]/puma -C /home/[user]/[app_name]/config/puma.rb

(check if $ puma can run without errors in foreground from app directory)
