Restart a docker container periodically with docker-compose

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports: ["80:80"]
    restart: unless-stopped

  restarter:
    image: docker:cli
    volumes: ["/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"]
    command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "while true; do sleep 86400; docker restart app_app_1; done"]
    restart: unless-stopped

@kizzx2 Thats Work as simple as that

thanks

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks. Best solution I've found.

Excellent. Thank you for the work.

What is the exact container name that we should specify? The restarter is telling me no such container

Looks like you can specify the container name using the container_name attribute under the service.

So the example can actually be modified to

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports: ["80:80"]
    container_name: app_app_1
    restart: unless-stopped

  restarter:
    image: docker:cli
    volumes: ["/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"]
    command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "while true; do sleep 86400; docker restart app_app_1; done"]
    restart: unless-stopped
    ```

How could I this be used to just restart a portainer container after a system reboot - possibly with a 20 sec delay after the reboot has happened

I have added the proposed lines and edited "app_app_1".
But I get this error:
No log line matching the '' filter

@BulldozerPete it's not an error, there are just no logs for the container.
