Sometimes this happens and a reboot will fix it. But I use S3 a lot and would like to attempt to kickstart the service.

 

It's not a particular docker container, it's the docker service.

 

How would one go about starting the service from the command line or otherwise.

 

Thanks in advance for your service.

...
unraid runs ontop of slackware linux...

On Unraid (Slackware Linux base), services are managed by system intvars.... they are found in the "/etc/rc.d/" onthe system... here you will find  rc.* scripts directly.

Since /etc/rc.d/rc.docker exisit we can leverage this to status, start, stop restart....

Since  this is the service script for Docker on unraid...

Example by calling it directly:

Quote

root@Docker:/etc/rc.d# /etc/rc.d/rc.docker status
Docker daemon is currently running.
root@Docker:/etc/rc.d# 

 

since unraid is an applciace nas application. I dont' recmoned trying to edit conf files or the script... that can get into advance linux stuff... and due to brzroot and unraid mutable flash load. changes don't surive a reboot. unraid linux os is entirely in ram...

sleep gets wonky and weird...

You would want to run the stop service command before sleep...
 

/etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop

--this can cause docker coruption...

 

and when its not idle and doing task and awake...
 

/etc/rc.d/rc.docker start

and

docker ps

to check running dockers...

 

here a generic script...
 

#!/bin/bash
# restart-docker.sh

# Stop Docker
/etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop

# Wait a few seconds to be safe
sleep 5

# Start Docker
/etc/rc.d/rc.docker start

 

Thank you very much!
