I got an home server that is running docker for all my self hosted apps. But sometimes I accidentally trigger Earlyoom by remotely starting expensive docker builds, which kill docker.

I don't have access to my server outside of my home network, so I can't manually restart docker in those situations.

What would be the best way to restart it automatically? I don't mind doing a full system restart if needed

Use -m and limit the build job's memory so it doesn't kill the docker daemon.

Systemd has config options for automatic restart of crashed services. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html#Restart=

Do you have your services set up with restart=unless-stopped? I wonder if that would auto restart them after OOM.

You should be able to make docker exempt from early oom. Check it's github for instructions.

But can it prevent killing only docker, and not the build/big containers processes?
