[Help]: Container self-restarted

[jacekdom]

Controller Version

v.5.15.24.19

Describe Your Issue or Question

Hello.

I'm new here, so please bear with me...
I'm having a problem with my controller in Docker.

Everything seems to be configured correctly, but the controller restarts automatically after a few/several minutes.

I should add that this is a test installation - I'd like to eventually get rid of OC200 and stick with Docker, but I have no idea why it's so unstable in my case 😞

Expected Behavior

Stable work without self restarting

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configuring and creating a MACVLAN assigned to one of the two network cards
2. Starting the stack based on the compose file

That's not the container restarting, that looks like the cloud connection resetting. You would see the container's uptime show this if the container restarted:

docker ps | grep -E '(^CONTAINER ID)|(omada-controller)'
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                            COMMAND                  CREATED        STATUS       PORTS                                    NAMES
de62854ebcab   mbentley/omada-controller:5.15   "/entrypoint.sh java…"   3 hours ago    Up 3 hours                                            omada-controller

You can see here that this container's been running for 3 hours so it hasn't been restarting. You would also see the container's entrypoint startup messages in the logs if it restarted.

Are you seeing any behavior of the controller where it's failing in some way? If not, it's likely fine but you should probably check to see if the cloud connection is working, if you use that.

Hmmm... it's hard for me to answer your question - however, I remember a situation where my physical OC200 controller behaved similarly strangely (self-restarts) for about 2 weeks with the previous software version (I don't remember exactly, but it was probably 5.15.24.18???) - with the current 5.15.24.21 it's fine now.

[jacekdom]

I'll keep watching. Thank you for your reply.

Oh and one other thing - don't use the latest tag. I would suggest using either a major.minor version tag (i.e. 5.15) or at least the major tag, which I just added recently, (i.e. - 5).
