Homelab Hero · No. 017

One incident. Three calls.

Monday, 7 a.m. The overnight image pull went wrong: your reverse proxy container is crash-looping, every service behind it is down, and the house is waking up to dead bookmarks and a photo backup that cannot start. Coffee is not yet a factor.

Your call:

A. Read the container's logs, find the first error, and fix it — or roll back to the previous image — before starting it once

B. Restart the whole Docker host and hope the loop clears on a fresh boot

C. Delete the container and its volumes and recreate it fresh — clean slate, no bad state

100 Hero Points for the right call — 200 on the Friday Boss Fight. From Issue No. 017 of The Homelab Herald. Your result lands on the next page, ready to share.
