I shut down my server and router for a power down the other day. When I repowered the house, the unraid server turned on autmoatically as expected but the router did not.

This seemed to create an issue on the unraid server where my home assistant VM lost its IP address. I have now rectified this however in turning off VMs and docker, I now seem to have lost all of my containers. My docker immage is 21.5gb and app data is all still there so wondered if there is a snesible way to fix this rather than manually reinstall each docker.

Following that, is there a way to ensure that I don't have the same issue with losing my VM IP address again in the event that the server reboots without the router powered up?

Happy to provide more details of specifics but have attached diagnostics.

Many thanks in advance.lawson-nas-diagnostics-20260308-1910.zip

If you have the appdata you can just restore the apps from CA:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/docker-troubleshooting/#re-creating-the-docker-image-file

Then:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/docker-troubleshooting/#reinstalling-docker-applications

Also see below if you have any custom docker networks:

Thank you, will try this today.
