I've been using Docker through Dockge for a while now, and it's been smooth sailing overall. However, I've noticed an odd thing: sometimes when I create a new container, it gets a name that repeats itself, which can look a bit cluttered. For example, when I deployed the dozzle-agent, it ended up being named 'dozzle-agent-dozzle-agent-1'. Is there any way to fix this through a command line instruction? Also, why does this naming issue occur in the first place?

You can definitely rename your containers via command line! If you're using Docker Compose, the naming convention is that it adds the project name (which defaults to the directory name) to your container name. You can set a specific name using `container_name:` in your Docker Compose file. For general CLI usage, you can refer to the official Docker documentation on naming containers for more details.
It sounds like you might have multiple container instances running. When you update a container, make sure to bring down the old one. Use the `container_name:` setting in your Compose file to prevent the duplication as well.
This behavior is pretty standard with Docker Compose. If you simply want to refer to your container without the extended name, try using the command `docker compose ` instead of the full container name. You can even set an alias for convenience.
