Restart needed when any docker container is re-created (reopening #143)

[LordShadowen]

As the title says, I have the exact same issue as it was reported on #143. It got closed as solved, but it still happens to me. When Watchtower updates a running container, the logs are full of errors "Container not available anymore"

I'm on latest (1.19). Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm connecting through docker-proxy (url: tcp://[proxy]). Could that be it?

Try 1.20b3 please.

[briodan]

the issue seems to be resolved in 1.20b3

sorry, didn't realize there was a beta version to try... yes, it seems to fix it

I think I'm seeing the same thing on 1.20b3 with podman. To reproduce:

• Start all containers (Integration shows all containers as running, as it should)
• Stop a container (Integration shows "unknown" for the stopped container, ok, but is "stopped" a possibility?)
• Restart the container (Integration continues to show "unknown" indefinitely)
• Restart Home Assistant (Integration shows the restarted container as running, correctly; other stopped containers still appear "unknown")

Log errors:

• This one apparently occurs once per minute after stopping a container:
