the install went smoothly, but even though the concept looks promising, it isn't working

running on a docker host with 60 running containers..... nothing gets stopped sind 30 mins.

Hi,

Im trying to use lazytainer to stop my container when not in use but im not able to access my application though lazytainer, im sure it is just a miss congiuration as im able to access without lazytainer hoping you can help :)

Docker Compose is below

version: "3"

networks:
  gitea:
    external: false

services:
  lazytainer:
    container_name: lazytainer
    hostname: lazytainer
    image: ghcr.io/vmorganp/lazytainer:1.2.0
    environment:
      - PORT=222,3000          # comma separated list of ports...or just the one 
      - LABEL=lazytainer    # value of lazytainer.marker for other containers that lazytainer checks
      - TIMEOUT=30          # OPTIONAL number of seconds to let container idle
      - MINPACKETTHRESH=10  # OPTIONAL number of packets that must be recieved to keepalive/start container 
      - POLLRATE=1          # OPTIONAL number of seconds to sleep between polls
      - VERBOSE=true        # probably set this to false unless you're debugging or doing the initial demo

This PR Depends on https://github.com/vmorganp/Lazytainer/pull/7

• Use golang buster as build image
• Static binary
• Tried to slim down binary using trimpath and ldflags s w
• Utilize buildkit with gomod and build caching
• Ignore all except go files using .dockerignore
• Remove unnecessary spaces
• Slim down uncompressed container image size to 6.8MB from ~15MB

To run and build this Dockerfile you have to set up buildkit which already comes with latest docker, Just have to enable it. It won't break anything.

docker buildx install

Using this docker-compose as my test/example:

--- 
version: "3"
services: 
  lazytainer: 
    container_name: lazytainer2
    environment: 
      - PORT=8080
      - LABEL=lazytainer
      - TIMEOUT=30
      - MINPACKETTHRESH=10
      - POLLRATE=1
      - VERBOSE=true
    image: "ghcr.io/vmorganp/lazytainer:master"
    ports: 
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes: 
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
  ytdl: 
    command: --port 8080
    container_name: youtube-dl
    depends_on: 
      - lazytainer
    environment: 
      - MY_ID=dbtech
      - MY_PW=password
    image: modenaf360/youtube-dl-nas
    labels: 
      - lazytainer.marker=lazytainer
    network_mode: "service:lazytainer"
    volumes: 
      - "/home/docker/YouTube:/downfolder"

I end up getting this error message:

Starting Container lazytainer2

Starting Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "--port": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

I've tried other containers as well with similar results. Is there a reason for this and can it be fixed easily for better compatibility?

I got everything working great, but is there any way to make it spin up the docker container based on when a client connects or sends an http request to the port?

I am using it with motioneye, and motioneye doesn't ever really settle down to 0 packets and is impossible to gauge the threshold correctly. It does, however, seem to register the clients connected just fine. Also, you cannot send enough traffic to motioneye to get it to trigger back on because of the login screen it uses, I think.

TIA!
