Storj and watchtower docker containers gone after updating Ubuntu packages

Node Operators troubleshooting

So I did the following on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

apt update && apt dist-upgrade && apt clean && apt autoremove

After which I’ve restarted the node server, and… there is no storj nor watchtower container anymore:

# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND   CREATED   STATUS    PORTS     NAMES
#

How do I recover from that?

The data is still there on disk.

Just personal habit, but I typically stop my storagenode container(s) before running the update/upgrade commands mainly because I usually restart the machine after the update/upgrade. Then I just restart the node after the reboot. Since it looks like your containers are gone, you would just need to re-run your docker start commands.

For the storagenode, it would look like this:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 \
    -p 28967:28967/tcp \
    -p 28967:28967/udp \
    -p 127.0.0.1:14002:14002 \
    -e WALLET="0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
    -e EMAIL="user@example.com" \
    -e ADDRESS="domain.ddns.net:28967" \
    -e STORAGE="2TB" \
    --mount type=bind,source="<identity-dir>",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="<storage-dir>",destination=/app/config \
    --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

and watchtower would look like this:

docker run -d --restart=always --name watchtower -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock storjlabs/watchtower storagenode watchtower --stop-timeout 300s

FYI, both of these are directly from the storj node documentation:

hope this helps.
