# docker-autoheal
Monitor and restart unhealthy docker containers.
This functionality was proposed to be included with the addition of `HEALTHCHECK`, however didn't make the cut.
This container is a stand-in till there is native support for `--exit-on-unhealthy` https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/22719.
## Supported tags and Dockerfile links
- [`latest` (*Dockerfile*)](https://github.com/willfarrell/docker-autoheal/blob/master/Dockerfile)

## How to use
```bash
docker run -d \
--name autoheal \
--restart=always \
-e AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=all \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
willfarrell/autoheal
```
a) Apply the label `autoheal=true` to your container to have it watched.
b) Set ENV `AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=all` to watch all running containers.
c) Set ENV `AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL` to existing label name that has the value `true`.
Note: You must apply `HEALTHCHECK` to your docker images first. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#healthcheck for details.
## ENV Defaults
```
AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=autoheal
AUTOHEAL_INTERVAL=5 # check every 5 seconds
AUTOHEAL_START_PERIOD=0 # wait 0 seconds before first health check
AUTOHEAL_DEFAULT_STOP_TIMEOUT=10 # Docker waits max 10 seconds (the Docker default) for a container to stop before killing during restarts (container overridable via label, see below)
DOCKER_SOCK=/var/run/docker.sock # Unix socket for curl requests to Docker API
CURL_TIMEOUT=30 # --max-time seconds for curl requests to Docker API
```
### Optional Container Labels
```
autoheal.stop.timeout=20 # Per containers override for stop timeout seconds during restart
```
## Testing
```bash
docker build -t autoheal .
docker run -d \
-e AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=all \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
autoheal
```
