Hello!

 

I have a running container on my Firewalla Purple but have to SSH in and start it everytime I reboot the Firewalla.  Any tips on how to make my container autostart?

This is the command I use to start:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped

  Are you saying I need to build a Yaml file for this to restart?  Neither of those items are what I am running.

  In those articles, if you scroll down, it will have instructions on how to restart / start containers

  example:

  The docker service and homebridge container won't automatically start after a system reboot, to do so, create the following folder and file

  /home/pi/.firewalla/config/post_main.d/start_homebridge.sh

  mkdir /home/pi/.firewalla/config/post_main.d/
  cd /home/pi/.firewalla/config/post_main.d/
  nano start_homebridge.sh

  and add this to start_homebridge.sh

  #!/bin/bash
  
  sudo systemctl start docker
  sudo systemctl start docker-compose@homebridge
