So, right out the gate, I realize Watchtower has been abandoned. I get that. Still, it’s a great app. 95% of the time, it works every time.

The issue I have is as follows:

It doesn’t do this everytime, and it’s not one particular container. It seems random. For the example of SearxNG, I have not specified a MAC address.

spoiler

docker run -d \ --name searxng \ -p 8989:8080 \ -v /srv/docker/searxng/data:/etc/searxng \ -e SEARXNG_BASE_URL=“https://” \ -e SEARXNG_INSTANCE_NAME=“SearxNG” \ -e SEARXNG_CONTACT_INFO=“mail.com” \ -e SEARXNG_LANGUAGE=“en-US” \ -e SEARXNG_AUTOCOMPLETE=“duckduckgo” \ -e SEARXNG_THEME=“simple” \ -e SEARXNG_OUTGOING_METHOD=“default” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_METRICS=“true” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_CAPTCHA=“false” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_INFINITE_SCROLL=“true” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_PIWIK_ANALYTICS=“false” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_ADVANCED_SEARCH=“true” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_PRIVATE_RESULTS=“true” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_TORIFICATION=“false” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_HTTPS_EVERYWHERE=“true” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_PROXY=“false” \ -e SEARXNG_ENABLE_PLUGINS=“true” \ searxng/searxng

In fact, I’ve never specified a specific MAC for any of my containers, and just let Docker do what it do. I’m just wondering if anyone has run up on this issue, and what did you do to remediate it, besides use another updater app? I like Watchtower, but only 95% of the time. LOL

It’s not a huge issue spinning the container back up. Takes less than 30 sec. However, that’s not how it’s supposed to work, so I seek input.
