Describe the issue

I'm using Audiobookshelf v2.1.5 (docker) in DietPi (v8.8.1) on a Pi2. The library is on a usb stick formatted to ext4.

If I shutdown or reboot the Pi then the Audiobookshelf container will vanish. On the subsequent boot the image is still there but I can no longer start the non-existent Audiobookshelf container. The only option for this bear of little brain is to re-run the install script. Again and again and again.

This issue isn't present with the only other container I'm running.

When looking to restart the Audiobookshelf container on reboot I saw this report: "Error response from daemon: Cannot update container 9528f1e16215bdf60e1546980ad2ff6fee50cfdebbbf74c3b4ca576846fe5fd6: Restart policy cannot be updated because AutoRemove is enabled for the container". Is this the reason it keeps going awol, and is there anything I can do about it?

Help, guidance or words of soothing comfort much appreciated.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Shutdown or reboot.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.1.5 (docker)

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

I suspect it's the last line of the docker instructions.

--rm ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf
If you remove that line, you should be able to set the restart policy.

I've removed the line but now it won't install and concludes with the protest that "docker run" requires at least 1 argument. Do I need to replace or amend the final line with something to get it started?

Perhaps replace it with --restart unless-stopped

Edit: actually I think it might be:
--restart unless-stopped ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf

I tried the 2nd and it appears to have worked. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
