Fix the Docker support about instauto HOT 4 OPEN

Sometimes this issue throw randomly on my container too when I start it . What I do is that I set my docker container restart policies to "on failure" and i set max-retry to 10 so that when it throws this error it immediately restarts and the error is gone and the bot doesn't fail after that.

To avoid this error I suggest that you create a docker volume and put the cookies.json,+ (all the data .json files) into a separate folder that you bind with that volume. The cookies.json validity last 1 year I think but it's better to login with cookies than username and password because it's faster.

Thanks. I tried the Restart Policy without luck.

I've created a volume now. To which path do I mount it? And how would I obtain the cookies.json and the rest of the .json files? I have never had a successful run in Docker.

Can I use the equivalent from SimpleInstaBot? Those files I can reach and have successful runs with.

I would recommend creating a managed volume because its easier.
You could create a ./data folder at the root of your project.
But you need to specify in your code to write the json files inside that folder.

Then with this data folder you can mount it like this in docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  myinstabot:
    volumes:
      - instabot:/app/data/
volumes:
  instabot:
