November 5, 2025Nov 5 Good day all,Hoping to get some insight to an issue I've faced for as long as I can remember and just sort of dealt with. I have 4 dockers using another container (GluetunVPN) for their network connection. I have setup auto update on certain dockers, including GluetunVPN. The update executes weekly and once it completes, the 4 dockers using GluetunVPN for their network become unavailable. Once I open the Unraid docker page, it shows those 4 dockers as rebuilding with the loading logo on in the middle of the screen. Once that page finishes loading the dockers are back up and running without any intervention.I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this. I have searched and found multiple topics similar to this but nothing exactly like it. I have seen the restart scripts and dockers (Rebuild-DNDC) but feel like this is a bug of some sort? Again, all I have to do is open the Unraid docker page and those 4 dockers will finish rebuilding and come back online. Sometimes it's hours after the update before I notice anything is wrong.Thanks for your help.

November 6, 2025Nov 6 Author Interesting. I mean I guess it's not a serious issue, just that I'll have to manually update that container. Seems like that could be improved to automatically rebuild anytime the parent container changes, even if through some automated process like auto updating.Thank you for responding. Maybe others aren't as picky as I am.
