However, I am finding if power cycle it, sometimes the calendar does not load up and just have a blank screen.

I don’t know if this is related to the docker setup but I think not. I have encountered similar problems depending on slow hardware and/or heavy load on start due to many modules starting in parallel or starting after fresh boot.

So you could try to change the start order of the modules (order in config.js), e.g. put the calendar as first.

@sdetweil

well, I did not promote it because the image base was to old (beside other problems) but in 2024 I decided to do a complete refactor so now the image build (iso, not docker) is done by me with gitlab based on the current raspian bookworm os lite.

The host is a pi zero 2w - so is on the low spec side.
