The current service doesn't play too nice with Sway when it is started from [sway service](https://github.com/xdbob/sway-services). Waybar is started before the system has a display. ``` Nov 30 22:11:23 ansan waybar[1352]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Nov 30 22:11:23 ansan waybar[1352]: cannot open display: Nov 30 22:11:23 ansan systemd[1306]: waybar.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 30 22:11:23 ansan systemd[1306]: waybar.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. ``` Restarting the service after the system has been initialized works nicely, so this restart rule should do the trick without tinkering with the target.
