How to set self-hosed Plausible to boot on startup?

This is more of a Docker question, but I'm not a Docker expert. ;-)

How would I get my server to automatically launch Plausible [detached] when it gets rebooted please?

Thanks

Set
restart: unless-stopped (or always, if you'd like) in your docker compose, for all the services.

See: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#restart

Thanks!

So I could specify restart: always to the docker-compose up -d command when launching Plausible and it would know to restart all the containers on system reboot?

Unless stopped would do the same thing. Unless stopped basically means if you stop it with docker stop it won't restart automatically, but in all other scenarios it will (which is generally a good standard). But yes, either would work in this case.

But to be clear, you need to put this in your docker-compose.yml, not as a command option. See the example that is there for the SMTP server in the given hosting repo or stack overflow.
