inforge service

Operate on already-deployed services over SSH.

inforge service restart

inforge service restart <env> <service> [--ssh-key <path>] [--stack-config <path>]

Restarts the service's systemd unit on every host it deploys to, then verifies the unit is active. Useful for a manual bounce independent of any change — inforge deploy already restarts a service automatically whenever its resolved secrets change (the push to secrets.age is hash-gated, so a secret value change takes effect on the next deploy without a separate restart).

Targets (host DNS, unit name, SSH user) come from the infra stack's deployDescriptor output — the same source inforge releases deploy delivers by — so restart can never disagree with deploy about where a service lives. Connecting to the stack needs the same backend environment as a deploy (e.g. PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE, plus CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID and the R2 credentials for an r2:// backend).

The SSH key is --ssh-key or the INFORGE_DEPLOY_KEY environment variable (a file path), connecting as the host's deploy user — the same account releases deploy uses.
