Restart should be handled via a systemd unit files. Please add your podman
commands to a unit file and allow systemd or your init system to handle the
restarting of the container processes. See example below.
- `no` : Do not restart containers on exit
- `on-failure[:max_retries]` : Restart containers when they exit with a non-0 exit code, retrying indefinitely or until the optional max_retries count is hit
- `always` : Restart containers when they exit, regardless of status, retrying indefinitely
Please note that restart will not restart containers after a system reboot.
If you require this functionality, please add your Podman commands to a systemd unit file, or create an init script for your init system of choice.
There is an example of restarting a container with systemd below.
