Includes:

  • config changes
  • SystemD unit hardening
    • if service failed quickly, SystemD would mark it as failed despite Restart=always. now will keep retrying regardless.

systemd's default rate limiter (5 starts within 10s) would put the
service into a failed state and stop retrying, despite Restart=always.
Once failed, the service required manual intervention to recover.

Fix by setting StartLimitBurst=0 to disable the rate limiter, and
RestartSec=30s to add a delay between restart attempts.
Same fix as bitbar.service — disable the rate limiter with
StartLimitBurst=0 and add RestartSec=30s between restart attempts.
