mediastack child containers occasionally disconnecting
reddit / selfhosted

Psychological_Cut139 · 2023-11-17 23:39

So I have set-up a "mediastack" that was build using docker-compose
and run in Portainer including the following services:

* Transmission/OpenVPN
* Radarr
* Sonarr
* Lidarr
* LazyLibrarian
* Jackett

I have an issue where all of the dependent containers that are sat
under Transmission/OpenVPN will occasionally disconnect or go offline
by some cause of my VPN provider from what I can tell (my network
hasn't gone down when it happens).

So I ask if anybody would have any recommendations for checking
container status and restarting child containers, maybe my compose is
a little messed up? I have all of the child containers network-mode
pointed at Transmission/OpenVPN.

The compose you did not share with us.

You probably need better healthchecks on those containers so if you
tell Docker that they depend on each other, it makes sense. But thats
impossible to say without details.

You should simply ask /r/Docker, or the creators of the software of
each service.

Would you be willing to share your compose file... I want to move my
stack over to docker ..  Transmission/OpenVPN is giving me some issue
and concern.

Sorry for the late response, The child containers do depend on
transmission alone and will be unreachable if the VPN client switches
IP or goes down momentarily. Maybe creating a automated healthcheck of
sorts to run in the stack and restart the containers if they are not
able to be pinged. Any recommendations on that?

I didn't include the remaining containers because my comment was too
long but it is basically a repetition of the radarr container for all
the others.
