Description
This PR fixes a bug in the sequential code examples for Docker restart policies.
The Problem
The current documentation lists the following two steps sequentially:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped redisdocker update --restart unless-stopped redisStep 2 assumes the container name is
redis. However, because Step 1 does not explicitly define a--name, Docker assigns a randomly generated name, causing Step 2 to fail with the following error:The Solution
Added the
--name redisflag to the initialdocker runcommand so that the subsequentdocker updatecommand works seamlessly as written.
