So I ran an OS upgrade and noticed that docker upgraded. I didn’t think much of it. However on rebooting the server, a previously working aleph install as now not starting up.

```auto
aleph-ui-1 c86a9ed9e77e Up 6 minutes
aleph-shell-1 0b6c859b7bfe Restarting (0) 23 seconds ago
aleph-api-1 ff9f2df51d60 Up 6 minutes

aleph-elasticsearch-1 63802228e9ee Up 6 minutes
aleph-redis-1 bc5d9592d741 Up 6 minutes

```

The aleph-shell-1 container keeps restarting.

docker logs aleph-shell-1 gives absolutely no output.

docker compose logs --follow seems to indicate all the other components are happy. I occasionally get a  
shell-1 exited with code 0  
at the bottom, which seems to indicate its happy too. Yet it keeps restarting.

Where else can I look for insight?

Hi @dev23 and sorry for the late reply. The shell container is usually only required when you need to interactively execute commands in an Aleph container, for example in order to use the aleph CLI. As such, it is expected that it exits immediately after starting. However, I can see how this is confusing and have updated the suggested commands in our documentation so they do not start the shell container.
