[lucifer](https://matrix.to/#/@lucifer:chatbrainz.org): had this thought right before going to bed, so might not be fully formed, but i wonder if we might be able to sidestep some the persistence issues with matrix-appservice-irc on the chatbrainz server (assuming part of the issue is connecting to ports exposed by particular containers) by adding an extra argument publishing ports from those containers on the host in a way that the
2025-12-02 33649, 2025

nspawn'd container can see but doesn't expose those ports to the world, if that makes sense

Hi monkey following your advice i found a new task... LB-1880 (Save listens and retry if submission fails ) ... i think this is suitable for me to work on ..!
julian45: if i understand that is what the conflicting changes do. let me know when you are around and we can take a stab at it. iiuc the ports were never exposed to the world just on the host for nspawn'd container.

My quick edit:
2025-12-02 33635, 2025
aerozol[m]
Undisclosed use of AI or Large Language Models, or inability to explain AI-generated contributions, will lead to your PR being closed without further review.
2025-12-02 33635, 2025
aerozol[m]
You may use LLM as part of your workflow, but the understanding the issue and any problem solving should be done by you. This is the core of our work as developers. The job market and financially motivated projects may not agree with this, but this wonderful little open-source bubble has a humanistic philosophy, and prioritizes community, critical thinking and robust and long-lasting code over productivity and speed.

<lucifer[m]> "julian45: if i understand that..." <- IIRC, the extra command line args we supplied in MDAD that were persistent before (but don't work now because of docker engine updates) were for pinning the *IPs* of a couple containers, not necessarily for ports. i'm hoping that if we can get specific, easy-to-ID ports (e.g., unusually high number and/or written down somewhere easily referenceable) for the necessary docker

monkey: when adding a new service to file listen import, we need to update the background tasks container as well. otherwise the imports are not processed.
