The restart always means that if your container has an issue with starting and staying up, Rancher will continue indefinitely trying to start a container.
Sometimes, there are containers that are set to start up once and then stay stopped. For those containers, you would select “Start Once” so that Rancher doesn’t continually try and start a new container for the service.
