When the container is shut down the memory goes with it though, the same as you'd have on e.g. Docker

Hi, I've got some issues when starting my Go service. I always get this error message:

Failed to start container: The container is not running, consider calling start()

Failed to start container: The container is not running, consider calling start()

Failed to start container: The container is not running, consider calling start()

Failed to start container: The container is not running, consider calling start()

And I can't find anything regarding this in the logs. Does someone has an idea how to resolve this? My current Dockerfile is working locally and in my k8s cluster, so I think it should be related to cloudflare containers

There shouldn't be from the container itself (the attached DO is subject to the limit still).

A container has it's own networking and doesn't rely on the Workers HTTP stack so you can effectively do whatever you want (within reason)

Indeed it is and I think it comes from:

   await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          ports: [8080],
                
          startOptions: {
            enableInternet: true,
            ...c.env, 
          },
        });

   await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          ports: [8080],
                
          startOptions: {
            enableInternet: true,
            ...c.env, 
          },
        });

   await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          ports: [8080],
                
          startOptions: {
            enableInternet: true,
            ...c.env, 
          },
        });

   await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          ports: [8080],
                
          startOptions: {
            enableInternet: true,
            ...c.env, 
          },
        });

I don't use hono or most of your stack so I'm not really going to be much help there.

For starting and stopping the containers, I'd use one of the examples in the documentation as a reference. Right now I have a simple concept express app for backing up durable objects to r2 that gets started by a worker calling the containers durable object. My code was made by referencing one of the examples

Brett Willis•11/5/25, 11:45 PM

Got some questions about how the image registry works when specifying the image as a registry tag rather than a Dockerfile:
1. If I push a new version of an image with the same tag, will the container instances update to the new version automatically? Or do I re-deploy the durable object (with no changes)? Or do I need to push to a new tag every time and re-deploy the durable object with the new image tag?
2. If I delete an image from the registry that is still used as the active image for a container, will it cause issues when the container needs to restart?

tao•11/6/25, 7:46 AM

Is there a way to manually trigger a redeployment of a Cloudflare Container from the web dashboard?
Our service went down unexpectedly, and we were only able to recover it by manually redeploying via Wrangler.

B

Brett Willis•11/6/25, 9:24 AM

Also what's up with logging from containers? When logging JSON with

console.log({ message: 'Some message' })

console.log({ message: 'Some message' })

console.log({ message: 'Some message' })

console.log({ message: 'Some message' }), the output is pretty-printed and observability treats each line as a separate log, e.g.
-

"message": "{"

"message": "{"

"message": "{"

"message": "{"
-

"message": "message: 'Some message'"

"message": "message: 'Some message'"

"message": "message: 'Some message'"

"message": "message: 'Some message'"
-

"message": "}"

"message": "}"

"message": "}"

"message": "}"

If I make it not pretty-print, then observability doesn't pick up the structured JSON, it just treats it as a normal string, e.g.
-

"message": "{ message: 'Some message' }"

"message": "{ message: 'Some message' }"

"message": "{ message: 'Some message' }"

"message": "{ message: 'Some message' }"

And interestingly, writing to stdout with

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Some message' }))

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Some message' }))

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Some message' }))

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Some message' })) doesn't seem to emit any observability logs at all?? Am I doing something wrong?

Another thing, think it'd be great if there's an easy way to extend the sleepTime from inside the container

We solved it by having the container invoke the API pinging the container (causing a reset) -- but an internal API would be far more elegant imo

They retain it for the lifetime of the container.
