How to restart a container with every interval timeout in docker-compose.yml by an option?

This is my simplified docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'

services:
  ivms_app:
      build: .
      image: an_image
      container_name: app_name
      restart: unless-stopped

      ports:
        - "9001:9001"

I have set the restart option with unless-stopped attribute. But I want an option for restarting a container with every interval timeout in docker-compose.yml like this:

interval_restart: 30 # 30 minutes

  • I don't think there is a way to do this kind of configuration in the docker-compose.yml file. Have you tried anything else? For example a cron job which will run a script every 30 minutes that does what you want? Related: How to restart a single container with docker-compose. Commented Nov 26, 2018 at 11:14

    I'm curious that under what context do you want to have this behavior? Commented Nov 26, 2018 at 12:25

    @PrabhatikaVij Thanks for mentioning the link. I don't know how I solved the problem in 2018 :-D. The mentioned post was written in 2020 that's why I hadn't seen that. So sounds great for others' issue Commented Jun 21, 2022 at 13:10

    @dragon at that time (2018) I was looking for an attribute in docker-compose to restart a container every X minutes! BTW, thank you for sharing about the restart policy in docker compose I didn't know about that. :-D Commented Sep 11, 2023 at 14:40
