Automatic Reboots
Configuring Automatic Reboots with Cron
To be able to use automatic reboots with this Server the following environment variables have to be set to true:
RCON_ENABLED
warning
If docker restart is not set to policy always or unless-stopped
then the server will shutdown and will need to be manually restarted.
The example docker run command and docker compose file in the Quicksetup already use the needed policy
