Allow scaling docker deployments using replicas

[AnzeKop]

Error Message and Logs

Docker doesn't allow for preset container names whenever you are deplying with replicas

    deploy:
      replicas: 2

Coolify automaticly sets container names so its impossible to have multiple replicas within coolify when trying to create them.

Steps to Reproduce

Create any docker deployment with multiple replicas in any service.

Big issue for me.

This would be useful for me as well. Workaround is spamming services.

Are there plans for this? Seems like a pretty vital feature to have.

I need this solution

The easiest workaround is to give us the ability to remove container_name

The way I skipped this is by comment/remove container_name from docker-compose.yml file, using the Terminal -> server -> then

 cd /data/cloolify/services/<serviceID> && sed -i '/container_name:/ s/^/# /' docker-compose.yml && docker compose up -d

my service then started with replicas, and status is running in coolify dashboard

Still having this issue, would be really really nice if we could do something about the conflicting container names.

Seems essential for a lot of scenarios. +1

You can always switch to swarm mode
