Restore from export, getting "ERROR: No container found for webserver_1"

[mikebantz]

I'm recovering from a DR sort of situation where all I have is the export folder and manifest.json file available (if this is even possible). I'm running the new install via Docker, and restoring from

/home/paperless/paperless-ng/export where I've restored all the files and manifest.json

The result of that import command is:

paperless@paperless:~/paperless-ng/export$ docker-compose exec webserver document_importer ../export
ERROR: No container found for webserver_1

Looking at the containers running on this host:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                              COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                    PORTS                                   NAMES

Is this something I brought upon myself when setting up this replacement server? Not sure there's anywhere obvious in the docker-compose.yml file to specify the name of the containers when they're spun up. I should add that this is a setup done from

https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup.html#install-paperless-from-docker-hub

EDIT: ok, found the project name info in .env, but removing that prepends the project name to (I'm assuming here) the parent folder name where docker-compose.yml lives, so the names of the containers come up as paperless-ng_webserver_1 and so on.

As an update to this - zero idea what's different, tried this again this morning and it worked successfully:
