Server doesn't restart, backups don't run about legendary-java-minecraft-paper

Thanks for letting me know about this. The ScheduleRestart feature has been removed.

There's not really an easy way for me to restart it from within the Docker container. This is meant to be done within your host OS.

Typically on Linux you would use crontab to do this i.e.:

crontab -e

*/30 * * * * docker container restart xxxx  2>&1 >> /home/youruser/log.txt

This would tell Docker to restart the container every 30 minutes. On Windows you could use a scheduled task or other methods within Docker to schedule this.

It turns out this isn't meant to be done from inside a container though. Thanks for reporting it!

Thanks. I had assumed it would restart the container and not the host system. Does that mean I'll need to schedule backups outside the container as well? Any suggestions about where to start?

Great question. So every time you restart the container it will do the backups so basically if you take care of restarting it then it will take care of the backups too.

You can test this by doing a:

docker container ls

You should see your running container with the container id. Then try doing:

docker container restart xxxx

Now you should have a backup generated in the backup folder.

This won't involve restarting the host OS basically. You will just tell your host OS to restart the container on a timer basically is what people typically will do. You would schedule a timer to run that same command we just ran on the CLI to restart the container if that makes sense.

Hopefully that helps!
