Docker Volumes not mounted after host reboot


I start various docker containers through docker-compose up -d and they all have the restart always flags enabled.

When I reboot the host machine (Windows 10 Pro), the containers restart but it appears the volumes are not mounted. I know this because I keep the config files on the mounted volume and the services bring up the initial setup screen when I go to the webpages, plex for example does the starting new server. When I run docker-compose stop, and then docker-compose up -d they have the volumes mounted and are using the correct config files. Is there a difference between how the containers get started on a restart versus docker-compose up?


Solution

  • For host-mounted volumes, it's a known problem that the volumes are not available immediately after restart: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/584#issuecomment-286792858

    I recommend using non-host mounted volumes or other workarounds.
