I generally let my server do its thing, but I run into an issue consistently when I install system updates and then reboot: Some docker containers come online, while others need to be started manually. All containers were running before the system shut down.
- My containers are managed with docker compose.
- Their compose files have
restart: always - It’s not always the same containers that fail to come online
- Some of them depend on an NFS mount point being ready on the host, but not all
Host is running Ubuntu Noble
Most of these containers were migrated from my previous server, and this issue never manifested.
I wonder if anyone has ideas for what to look for?
I hate to be that guy, but uh, what do the logs say?
The container logs would probably be most useful since you should (probably) be able to tell if they’re having issues starting and/or simply not attempting to launch at all.
