Docker Auto-Restart: Configuration Guide

To enable automatic restart of Docker containers, you can use the –restart parameter to specify the restart policy for the container . Here are some commonly used restart policies:

1. Keep the application running continuously
2. Restart the system unless specifically stopped.
3. –restart should occur in the event of a failure.
4. Restart the process automatically up to 5 times if it fails.

For example, to configure a container to always restart automatically, you can use the following command:

docker run --restart=always my_container

To check the restart policy of a container, you can use the following command:

docker inspect --format '{{.HostConfig.RestartPolicy.Name}}' my_container

Please be sure to set a proper restart policy when configuring automatic restart for Docker containers to prevent excessive consumption of system resources from endless restarting.
