How to make Planka autostart after reboot ?

[seals187]

Hi Guys,

How do you autostart planka after reboot ?
I used the installation script (automated install) which is excellent except the point of autostart =),

• If I restart the SRV = Planka down. When I change to "unless-stopped" in the docker .yml file it does not help.
• This: https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/Configuration/planka_service is not working when you use the "automated install script".

I have also tried setting the restart policy on postgres in my compose file to "unless-stopped", but it doesn't seem to help. Every time my machine reboots I have to stop the containers and bring docker compose back up manually.

Well it was really simple to do it, I juste get stucked with my thinking somewhere, where i cant find any way to do it =)
So after thinking a bit, why not just use a script that does what we want at any startup = problem solved.

Step 1: Create following script & make it executable

#!/bin/bash
cd /pathtocomposefile
docker compose down
sleep 5
docker compose up -d

Step 2: Add it to crontab

@reboot /path/to/scriptxy.sh

Step 3: Enjoy it

Thats all, nothing to do anymore =))
