linux - Error deploying a Django app using gunicorn

Question

Im trying to deploy my Django app in a linux server by following this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/como-configurar-django-con-postgres-nginx-y-gunicorn-en-ubuntu-18-04-es

but keep getting an error when trying to set gunicorn with my django project

● gunicorn.service - gunicorn daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2021-02-04 17:45:34 +01; 25min ago
TriggeredBy: ● gunicorn.socket
   Main PID: 754981 (code=exited, status=217/USER)

Feb 04 17:45:34 vps141106 systemd[1]: Failed to start gunicorn daemon.

This is my service

[Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
Requires=gunicorn.socket
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/root/test
ExecStart=/home/root/venv/bin/gunicorn 
          --access-logfile - 
          --workers 3 
          --bind unix:/run/gunicorn.sock 
          test.wsgi:application

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Im getting those errors

gunicorn.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No such process
gunicorn.service: Failed at step USER spawning /home/root/venv/bin/gunicorn: No such process

Now Im pretty sure I have something in /home/root/venv/bin/gunicorn I just did a

nano /home/root/venv/bin/gunicorn and got this

  GNU nano 4.8                                           /home/root/venv/bin/gunicorn                                                     
#!/home/root/venv/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from gunicorn.app.wsgiapp import run
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script.pyw|.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(run())

of course just in case I did "pip install gunicorn" inside my venv and it is in fact installed

now with the first error, Im not sure what is causing it, the system user is called root and has sudo privileges, maybe I need to put the password somewhere to make sure it can login?

I hope you guys can help me.
