Healthchecks and container restarts

Apps and Virtualization

Any easy way to restart containers that are reported unhealthy? I’ve added healthcheck to qbittorrent (it will lose network access if gluetun is restarted/updated) compose and it gets marked as unhealthy, confirmed with docker ps from shell.

Best practice on restarting the unhealthy container?

I’ve tried adding a custom app that basically runs cli command. Love how the Scale compose yaml I paste gets semi mangled :rofl:

services:
  restarter:
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    command:
      - /bin/sh
      - '-c'
      - >-
        while true; do sleep 60; docker ps -q -f health=unhealthy | xargs
        --no-run-if-empty docker restart; done
    image: docker:cli
    network_mode: none
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`Preformatted text`

But that just crashes the unhealthy pod.

Guess the alternative would be to run a cron job for:

docker ps -q -f health=unhealthy | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker restart
