Docker stopped / status change notification

[WannabeMKII]

Generally, unraid just runs with very little input from me, which is perfect. However, a couple of times, a docker has stopped running for some reason. As it’s a docker I don’t use a lot and I don’t log in that often, I didn’t realise it had stopped.

Therefore, I was wondering if there’s a way to be notified of a docker status change, or if a docker stops from a running status?

Does such a thing exist?

Do you have CA Automatic Backups or Automatic Updates installed? If so, you might have it being affected by those plugins.

No to your actual question without creating a script to monitor the status

 

But you can try adding this to the extra parameters of the template

--restart always

So that the container will restart if it exits

I actually have both installed and have for quite a while. It's only stopped a couple of times.

Thanks for the tip, I've added this. I also assume I can do this on all dockers?

 

What was strange, was that I couldn't restart the docker until the weekly update came out.

 

If that's the case and it won't restart, what happens with the restart parameter?

Anyone able to advise? Will it just keep looping, or will it stop?

 

If it keeps looping, what's the side effect?

 

Would be great to have some sort of notification.

 

Thanks.
