[Unit] Description=Thin client agent (Home Assistant MQTT control surface for Sway) Documentation=file:///opt/thinclient-agent # A system unit rather than a `systemctl --user` unit: the agent has to be reachable # over MQTT whether or not a graphical session is up, and it has to survive sway # restarting (a user unit bound to graphical-session.target would go down with it). # The session-scoped bits it needs — SWAYSOCK, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, # DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS — are derived at call time from the kiosk user's runtime # directory in sway_control.SwayControl.session_env(), which also means they are # re-resolved after every sway restart instead of being frozen at unit start. # # Deliberately NOT After=network-online.target: project-plan Phase 11.10 requires the # thin client to boot to a usable kiosk session with the container host powered off.
