Network loses labels after docker service restart on Windows #49179
Closed
Description
Description
The labels for networks do not persist between Restarts of the docker daemon on Windows. This impacts the usage of docker-compose with Windows containers because it means that after a restart, the network no longer belongs to a docker-compose project.
The major inconvenience is that this interferes with the OS patching process which implies OS restarts.
When you do the next docker-compose up on that project it will try to create a new network because it can't track the old one. Since OS updates are recurrent events this issue is a huge inconvenience.
Example of error received after a service restart:
Ran command: docker compose up -d
Received:
time="2024-12-31T07:16:34+02:00" level=warning msg="a network with name monitoringpoc_monitoring exists but was not created by compose.\nSet `external: true` to use an existing network"
network monitoringpoc_monitoring was found but has incorrect label com.docker.compose.network set to "" (expected: "monitoring")
Reproduce
- docker network create --label test --driver nat test
- docker network inspect test. Check that the label
testhas been successfully added. - Restart the Windows service for the docker engine ( or restart the computer to install OS updates)
- docker network inspect test. Check if the label
teststill exists.
Expected behavior
The network labels should be persisted between restarts.
