Container not available anymore

[derekoharrow]

I've restarted/recreated some containers due to issues I had with them (which I have to do fairly often for a small set of containers). After having done this I get lots of instances of the following in the log file. I'm guessing monitor_docker is trying to track containers by their container id but re-creating them means that they are now different containers.

Restarting Home Assistant fixes the problem, but only until I have to recreate a container again.

Same here, most containers are updated automatically by watchtower, and the log just blows up afterwards with thousands of these errors.

@attila123456 The containers have a new name or the same name?

@ualex73 Same issue here, and yes, they have the same name.

@ualex73 I think it is something to do with the container ID.

When you stop and restart a container, my understanding is that it keeps the same ID.

However, when you re-create a container, such as after pulling a new image down, it get's a new container ID.

I think this is what it is complaining about - it says the container (based on ID) no longer exists. This is technically true, but it has been replaced with a new container ID, but using the same name.

Any update or progress on this at all?

Is perhaps possible to reload the integration in order to refresh the containers list with current ID? Thanks
