The current systemd unit file for Teleport uses
Restart=on-failure
, but we just noticed a race condition that could cause Teleport to get terminated by an unhandled HUP signal, which systemd treats as a "clean" exit state. Seeing as theteleport
binary will never exit on its own volition except after spawning a brand newteleport
and checking that it's running, this PR sets the restart behavior toalways
instead.Of note is that
Restart=always
will not restart the service if it's manually stopped viasystemctl stop
and similar systemd-level controls, only if the process exits "cleanly" (which is a bug).changelog: ensured that systemd always restarts Teleport on any failure unless explicitly stopped
