Use cases

• Manage long-running containers that must auto-restart on failure
• Stream container logs for agent-based debugging or monitoring
• Use Docker Compose to deploy and orchestrate multi-container environments

Pros

• Enables agents to maintain container uptime without manual intervention
• Supports health checks and auto-restart for robust operations
• Exposes log streaming directly to agents

Cons

• Very low community adoption (1 star) suggests limited testing or support
• Tied to Docker ecosystem, not usable with other container runtimes
• Current feature set may have undiscovered bugs or gaps
