Docker container stuck restarting after power failure

Hello I have a container that is occasionally unable to restart after a power cut.

docker restart/stop containername or even docker rm -f containername just hangs forever without result or log output.

There is a restart unless-stopped policy set on the container.

However, after a manual reboot of the host everything goes back to normal, container just restart normally.
