Yesterday I moved my server to a different piece of hardware, fresh install of Debian and all of that... got the image running beautifully. Trying to resolve a dumb issue on the new hardware had me reboot the server (using an old laptop as the new server, and closing the lid forces it to suspend, which I can't do anything about apparently, but didn't know that it can't be disabled in bios until I looked.)

After bringing the host server back online, the container hangs trying to connect to "Steam Public" and I don't know what to do about it.

Also, why does the container constantly rebuild itself instead of there there being a flag to rebuild/start? Seems like overkill to me.

Server OS didn't have the DNS servers added to it, so the attempt to download the files was hanging.
