I have a couple pis that run docker containers including pihole. The containers have their storage on a centralized share drive.
I had a power outage and realized they can't start if they happen to come up before the share drive PC is back up.
How do people normally do their docker binds? Optimally I guess they would be local but sync/backup to the share drive regularly.
Sort of related question: in docker compose I have restart always and yet if a container exits successfully or seemingly early in it's process (like pihole) it doesn't restart. Is there an easy way to still have them restart?
You should be able to modify the docker service to wait until a mount is ready before starting. That would be the standard way to deal with that kind of thing.
What if it's a network mount inside the container? Doesn't the mount not happen till the container starts?
Correct yeah, you'd still need a way on the host to check if the mount is ready though before starting the service. Or you could just do a fixed delay time.
