job-run will not start a container with a profile

[deimosian]

This may be user error of some kind, but I put a profile tag on my certbot container because I don't want it running every time I down/up my compose stack. That seems to have prevented my Ofelia container from being able to start it on its weekly schedule.

If anyone has advice on how to start it anyway, perhaps activating the profile with Ofelia, that would be great.

Relevant part of compose file:

    container_name: cron
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:0.3
    depends_on:
      - web
    command: daemon --docker -f label=com.docker.compose.project=${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.enabled: "true"
      ofelia.job-run.cert-renew.schedule: "@weekly"
      ofelia.job-run.cert-renew.container: "cert"
  cert:
    container_name: cert
    image: certbot/dns-cloudflare
    profiles:
      - cert

Profiles is a docker compose only concept which adds some compose-specific logic to your workloads. On the other hand Ofelia works on a docker-level APIs and not aware about the profile.

Can you share exact failure message you get?

This is what I see in Ofelia, seems the container doesn't exist as far as it is concerned.

For now I'm going to try running docker compose --profile cert create to ensure the container exists to be started.
