Container doesn't restart if owntone crashes

[surskitt]

If owntone crashes, the container remains running. Since openrc is the main container process, owntone can terminate from an error and openrc will continue to run and the container will not stop or restart.

Running applications under containers should be self healing. If a crash happens that can be recovered with a restart, then the container should recover itself.

With things as they are, owntone could crash and the container would continue to run as if it was still healthy.

This could be indeed improved.
I will check what could be improved in the service script for owntone.
However, I'm no specialist of openrc, so if you have already a working service script that takes care of the respawn, I would appreciate that.
Thanks

I wouldn't really know about using openrc within a container, it's not really done or reccomended. Containers will typically just run one program and wouldn't use a service manager.

Well, indeed, it is not recommended to have multiple processes running in a container.
However, OwnTone is a bit different as it needs the avahi-daemon.
