Thanks for making this. It's been working pretty well for me. However, I restarted docker last night while the container was running and now I cannot boot into the image. The image does not show up at the main screen and when I open UEFI shell, I get the following error:

OCM: Failed to start image - Already running
BS: Failed to start OpenCore image - Already started
Halting on critical error

I'm guessing the image can't boot because it's last known state was already running. I've tried to reset the NVRAM but that didn't have an effect.

Any other ideas or is my image kaput?

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.3'

    docker-osx:
        restart: unless-stopped

I guess my image got corrupted somehow so I deleted it and started over. All is well now.

The location of the image depends on how you've configured you container, but in my docker compose file up there, it's the first volume mount under volumes
