Good morning! I show you a .service that randomly stops sometimes but it won’t restart. I would like to see what it would be possible to do to make it restart automatically and quickly!

As it does not stop frequently, I would like to know if this way the problem would be solved!

DigitalOcean has a pretty good tutorial that explains such cases here:
Having said that, what you’ve written looks like it should work however usually when a service crashes it’s because the Droplet has killed it or there was an issue with said service. This means that most probably it won’t start again.
In such cases, I often urge people to check the logs and see why this behavior is seen. Usually, services shouldn’t crash.
