# Docker Auto Restart
## Description
This role was implemented to address the classic issue: ["Have you tried turning it off and on again?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rksCTVFtjM4). The problem initially arose with the `fetchmail` container in [Mailu](../roles/docker/mailu), which fails if only some containers, and not the full docker-compose composition, are restarted.
This role automates the restart process for Docker Compose instances within a specified directory. It deploys a Python script that checks for the presence of docker-compose.yml files and restarts the associated services—using a hard restart for certain directories if needed.
## Overview
This role automates the restart process for all `docker-compose` instances within a specified directory. It ensures consistent restarts of services while avoiding issues caused by partial restarts.
Optimized for containerized environments, this role:
- Sets up the necessary directories and scripts for restarting Docker Compose instances.
- Configures a systemd service (and optionally a timer) to execute the restart script.
- Handles both standard restarts and hard restarts for specific containers (e.g., for Mailu).
## Purpose
The primary purpose of this role is to ensure that all Docker Compose services are restarted consistently, resolving issues that may arise from partial restarts. This helps maintain overall service stability and minimizes downtime.
## Features
- Automatically detects and restarts `docker-compose` instances in the given directory.
- Uses a Python script to perform service restarts with `docker-compose restart`.
- Integrates with `systemd` for scheduled or manual execution.
- Designed for idempotency and ease of integration.
## Requirements
- `docker-compose` must be installed on the target system.
- Python 3.x is required to execute the provided script.
- This role depends on the `system-maintenance-lock` role for handling system-wide locking during restarts.
- **Automated Detection:** Scans a specified parent directory for docker-compose.yml files.
- **Service Restart:** Executes a Python script to restart Docker services via docker-compose.
- **Conditional Hard Restart:** Applies a hard restart procedure for specific directories (e.g., Mailu).
- **Systemd Integration:** Configures a systemd service and optionally a timer for scheduled restarts.
## Installation
1. Clone or include this role in your Ansible project.
2. Define the required variables in your playbook or inventory:
```yaml
path_administrator_scripts: "/path/to/administrator/scripts/"
restart_docker_folder: "/path/to/restart/volumes/"
on_calendar_restart_dockers: "daily"
```
## Usage
Include this role in your playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: all
roles:
- docker-auto-restart
```
The role will:
1. Set up the necessary directories and scripts.
2. Configure a `systemd` service to restart docker-compose instances.
3. Optionally schedule restarts via a systemd timer.
