Subject: [Bug 2100899] [NEW] ubuntu/prometheus not accepting
--storage.tsdb.retention.time=60d
To: <cristovao.cordeiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Public bug reported:

With the following docker-compose configuration
services:
  prometheus:
    image: ubuntu/prometheus
    container_name: prometheus
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      #    - ~/data/prometheus/promo-config:/etc/prometheus
    - ./prometheus-config:/etc/prometheus
    - ./rules.yml:/etc/prometheus/rules.yml
    - ~/data/prometheus/data:/prometheus
    networks:
    - localprom
    ports:
    - 9090:9090
    command:
      - "/bin/prometheus"
      - "--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml"
      - "--storage.tsdb.path=/prometheus"
      - "--storage.tsdb.retention.time=60d"  # Retention period of 60 days
    user: "1000:1000"

the retention value of 60d is never retained, and the prometheus
instance always restarts at 15d

I have tried many things including the wonderful ChaGPT/Gemini and no
avail.

except it state that I should be using the prom/prometheus, and that
this image might not honour the variable (which I doubt)
