As an update, based on the pointers from @KARSTEN13 and @SDETWEIL, have a workaround.
Had three issues going on.
1:
I found that on a graceful reboot (shutdown -r now) that it would generally start fine, but not on an ungraceful reboot (power cycle the machine).
Looks like when it was ungraceful reboot, the labwc container would show with uptime of (for example) five hours when ‘docker ps’, even though the machine was rebooted 20min ago after ‘docker compose up’ was executed by install.sh. Whereas the magicmirror container would have recently started.
I assume kind of lock file confusing things?
Workaround was to change the first ‘docker compose up’ install.sh to ‘docker compose up -d --force-recreate’
2:
I’d also included a pause and --force-recreate at the end of the install.sh and noted it was never executing as per @KARSTEN13’s suggestion.
Looked like the install.sh script was hanging at docker compose pull.
Commented that out.
3:
Lastly, the initial ‘docker compose up -d --force-recreate’ in install.sh would still fail often with the mm container restarting with logs as per the original post.
With a 7 min pause and then second ‘docker compose up -d --force-recreate’ it seems to start the second time well (3min wasn’t enough, 5min was better, 7min seems to work).
Workaround is a bit on the slow side, at some point will see if can refactor it a bit so that a pull for updates occurs.
Extract of resulting install.sh below.
_info "--> Pulling docker images and starting magicmirror"
# need sudo for docker here if docker was installed with this script
# use up so mm can start if there are already local images
_info "--> Pre Start Pause for 2min"
sleep 120
_info "--> Start and recreate"
$_sudo docker compose up -d --force-recreate
#_info "--> Pull Pause for 1 min"
#sleep 60
# pull new images
#_info "--> Image Pull"
#$_sudo docker compose pull
#_info "--> Restart Pause for 1 min"
#sleep 60
# restart (only if new images pulled)
#_info "--> Restart stopped"
#$_sudo docker compose up -d
_info "--> Final Pause for 7 min"
sleep 720
_info "--> Final start and recreate"
$_sudo docker compose up -d --force-recreate
if [[ "$_sudo" == "sudo" ]]; then
_info "--> Reboot needed, starting in 120 sec. (use ctrl-c to skip)"
sleep 120
sudo reboot now
fi
# cleanup
$_sudo docker image prune -f
