Wants=network-online.target
# The data dir AND podman's graphroot (containers/storage) both live on the
# separate /var/lib/archipelago volume. Without this, on a cold boot the service
# (and its ExecStartPre) can start BEFORE var-lib-archipelago.mount, write to the
# bare mountpoint on rootfs, fail every podman call, exit, and get restarted every
# 5s until the volume mounts (~5 min of "[FAILED] Failed to start" on boot — B17).
# RequiresMountsFor adds both Requires= and After= on the mount unit so we never
# start until the data volume is mounted.
