Thanks for your contribution! But I believe the --restart=always docker run parameter has already made the container start on reboot?

According to my test it only starts after logon.

I don't think do, because I have many servers and I don't remember there's any cases that the container can not get started after the server reboot.

Could you please double confirm it?

Actually it only runs after I run docker ps. Selection of syslog:

Using crontab fixes this.

I'll have a test about it when I got time.

Basically I don't think that there's any need to add anything into the crontab.

I believe the answer in the StackOverflow link agree with me that there's no crontab need to be added: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30450350/1123955
