Systemd unit to automatically restart unhealthy docker containers

Automatically restart unhealthy docker containers

The systemd unit checks every 30 seconds for unhealthy docker containers and restarts them.

Based on the idea of to https://github.com/willfarrell/docker-autoheal. But simpler and with less features.

Changing the monitoring interval

Create the file /etc/docker-autoheal.env and add a line with autoheal_interval_seconds=30, where 30 is the number of seconds you want as an interval.

Afterwards restart the service with the command systemctl restart docker-autoheal.service.

Install

sudo wget --quiet --output-document /etc/systemd/system/docker-autoheal.service https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ioqy/docker-autoheal-systemd/master/docker-autoheal.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now docker-autoheal.service

Uninstall

sudo systemctl disable --now docker-autoheal.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/docker-autoheal.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
