Hello,

i am running an apache2 server in a docker-container (debian-Image). The problem occurs when i restart the container. Then, i have to start the apache server manually (with docker exec). I tried systemctl and everything else, but nothing helped. Is it a docker thing or is this a debian problem?

Regards
