fix(systemd): use Restart=always to handle in-app restart requests#199
Merged
Conversation
Container apps like Signal K support in-app restart via their admin UI, which exits the process cleanly (code 0). With Restart=on-failure, systemd treated this as "service completed" and never restarted the container, leaving users with Traefik's 404 page. Restart=always restarts after any exit while systemctl stop still works correctly (systemd suppresses restart for explicit stops). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
