Don't always restart

[wmortada]

I've noticed that these images are always running every time I switch my laptop on. I find this slightly annoying as it means that I have to stop them in order to run other docker images that use the same ports. I would prefer to turn the images off and on as required.

The suggested changes make the images only restart on failure.

This is interesting. I added this because, for me, having to start them each time I start my laptop was annoying me.

I also have manually maintain a list of ports for all my docker services to that non of them use the same port and (for the more common services) reverse proxy them via nginx to more friendly URLs.

I wonder if 'unless stopped' is a good compromise? What do you think about us both experimenting with that and see if it meets our needs? Unless you ruled that one out already.

Sounds fine to me. I guess it is a matter of personal preference. I thought others may feel the same way as me but I may be wrong!

It's easy enough to keep my own version of the Dockerfile.

@wmortada - just double checking - does unless-stopped do what you want? It does what I want so if so, I will merge

[wmortada]

Yes, that works fine for me. Does just what I want. I can start it when I want and it doesn't restart when I don't want it.
