Hi guys, sorry for the delay coming back @Tony Tamplin is correct, I built it only to work with the dropdown approach for Container Network. Thanks for working out the issue before I even had chance to look into it!

I’ve sent a message to @squid to advise is anything is pending for it to be added

I’ve submitted it about a week ago. I’ll follow up.

ContainerNetwork AutoFix (CNAF)Automatically recreates Docker containers when their master container restarts. The ProblemWhen using Docker's --net=container: networking (common with VPN containers), dependent containers reference the master container by its ID. When the master container restarts or updates, it gets a new container ID, breaking the network connection for all dependent containers. Example: You have containers routing through GluetunVPN. When GluetunVPN updates and restarts, your dependent containers (qBittorrent, Prowlarr, etc.) lose network connectivity and need to be manually recreated. The SolutionCNAF monitors your master container (VPN, etc.) and automatically recreates any dependent containers when it restarts, restoring their network connectivity. Features✅ Zero configuration - Automatically detects dependent containers ✅ State preservation - Maintains running/stopped state of containers ✅ Smart waiting - Configurable delay for VPN establishment ✅ Log rotation - Automatic log management ✅ Standalone - No dependencies on Unraid scripts ✅ Universal - Works with any master container (GluetunVPN, OpenVPN-Client, WireGuard, etc.) InstallationFrom Community Apps (Recommended)Open Community Apps Search for "ContainerNetwork AutoFix" or "CNAF" Click Install Configure the master container name (default: GluetunVPN) Apply Manual Installationbash docker run -d \ --name='ContainerNetwork-AutoFix' \ --restart=unless-stopped \ -e MASTER_CONTAINER='GluetunVPN' \ -e RESTART_WAIT_TIME='15' \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user:/templates:ro \ -v /mnt/user/appdata/containernetwork-autofix:/var/log \ buxxdev/containernetwork-autofix:latest ```## Configuration| Variable | Default | Description ||----------|---------|-------------|| `MASTER_CONTAINER` | `GluetunVPN` | Name of the master container to monitor || `RESTART_WAIT_TIME` | `15` | Seconds to wait after master restarts (allows VPN to establish) || `MAX_LOG_LINES` | `1000` | Maximum log lines (automatic rotation) || `MAX_RETRIES` | `10` | Startup retry attempts for finding master container || `RETRY_DELAY` | `10` | Seconds between retry attempts |## How It Works1. CNAF starts and waits for your master container to be ready 2. Detects all containers using the master container's network 3. Monitors Docker events for master container restarts 4. When the master restarts: - Waits for configured time (VPN establishment) - Identifies containers using the old master container ID - Records each container's state (running/stopped) - Stops and removes broken containers - Recreates from Unraid templates - Restores original state ## Common Use Cases### VPN Containers- **GluetunVPN** (most common)- OpenVPN-Client - WireGuard - NordVPN - binhex-delugevpn - Any VPN container using `--net=container:`### Example Setup``` GluetunVPN (master container)├── qBittorrent (--net=container:GluetunVPN)├── Prowlarr (--net=container:GluetunVPN)└── slskd (--net=container:GluetunVPN)When GluetunVPN restarts, CNAF automatically recreates qBittorrent, Prowlarr, and slskd.
