Reliable Docker Compose restarts after host reboot
xpenser updated Docker Compose restart policies so long-running services recover automatically after a self-hosted server reboot.
Self-hosted finance tools should come back after a host reboot without manual intervention.
This release came from PR #4 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.
What changed
- Set long-running local, PR, and production services to restart automatically.
- Kept one-shot setup and migration jobs on failure-only restart policies.
- Aligned SigNoz stack services with the same operational expectation.
Why it matters
A personal finance app often runs on a small VPS or home server. Automatic restarts reduce avoidable downtime while keeping setup jobs from looping after they complete.
Where it fits
This is part of the operational foundation for running xpenser as a self-hosted expense tracker.
