What happens when the server is closed?

When initiating the shutdown of the host server (Quantum Server), it won't close immediately. Instead, upon detecting the shutdown signal, the server systematically shuts down all Docker instances belonging to users. Consequently, their deployments and repositories are also gracefully closed. Only after all Docker instances on the platform are safely shut down does the server proceed to shut down successfully.

Similarly, upon restarting the server, the platform bootloader takes charge of mounting all users' Docker instances during server runtime. Once these Docker instances are successfully started, the bootloader proceeds to launch the repositories of all users within their respective instances. Please note that this startup process may require a few minutes, depending on your hardware specifications and the number of users on the platform.

If a server crash occurs, it won't simply shut down. Instead, the error will be displayed in the console, and the server will promptly initiate an automatic restart. If the error persists and another occurrence happens, the server will persistently attempt to restart until it can do so successfully. This proactive approach is vital for security reasons; it ensures that deployments aren't compromised due to server issues without the user's awareness. Therefore, the server diligently strives to recover and restart after any crash, safeguarding the continuity of operations.
