Paused containers are restarted

[ffried]

Autoheal seems to restart paused containers.
We use docker compose pause $service to pause certain containers for e.g. backing up their volumes w/o risking concurrent access to it.
It would be great if autoheal would leave paused containers alone instead of restarting them.

I have noticed the same thing today. Paused containers are reported as Unhealthy by the Docker engine. I have opened a bug report with Docker for it here: moby/moby#46203

I believe a Paused container should be reported as either Healthy or Paused. Definitely not as Unhealthy. Maybe this container could check the running state and ignore any marked as Paused.

Although using different methodology than this project, here are additional examples of how this might be handled:
