Containers not restarted after update with restart always in docker-compose.yml

Question

I have some containers which all of them have the always restart value in the docker-compose file like this:

version: "3.7"
services:

  container:
         


        

Answer 1

This requires the Docker service to get started on boot instead of using the default socket activation that starts on-demand like you decribed with execution of "docker ps"

Here is the required Container Linux Config to enable the Docker service while disabling socket activation:

systemd:
  units:
    # Ensure docker starts automatically instead of being socket-activated
    - name: docker.socket
      enabled: false
    - name: docker.service
      enabled: true
