How to change name of container/docker from "temporary"?

[Avrution]

I'm not sure what causes this, but sometimes when I change the settings of a container it renames the docker to "originalname"-temporary-"random numbers"

For example, I changed the memory settings on my pihole docker and it went from "pihole" to "pihole-temporary-1536347801"

Is there a way to change this name back? I've had it change each and every time I made a modification and it really starts to screw things up.

I've had that too, only way to change the name is to export it and re-import it but that often causes other issues. Seems to be a bug that hits at random when you make changes, yet to confirm what exactly causes it as I'm often adding in minor changes to some of my containers and it only does it one out of every five or so times.

Yes, does seem completely random. It is sometimes a real pain when it happens, especially to my Crashplan docker as that takes hour to start over again.

You must execute command (login via SSH to Qnap earlier):

Code: Select all

docker rename my_container my_new_container

Works perfectly! Thanks a bunch.

I know this is an old thread, but the ultimate way to solve this must be to use an environment variable during creation.
Does anyone know of a way to do that? For instance like CONTAINER_NAME: something
