container‐id description

It could happen that during a recreate you may see a container named "container-xxxxxxxxxxxx" with xxxxxxxxxxxx being a timestamp.

Having a "container-xxxxxxxxxxxx" is not an issue by itself but it means the recreate has failed and this container is kept for a possible rollback.

Let's see how the recreate works. When you initiate a recreate we have the following workflow being started :

As you see, having a "container-xxxxxxxxxxxx" means that the recreate operation has failed. There is multiple possible reasons for this to happen :

• The image is not working
• the port is already allocated when you the new container is being created
• volume is missing
• wrong env values
• many more...

We recommend to properly manage the container recreation by checking after the operation that the new container is in a "running" state.
