Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the container down/up cycle with persistent storage and inspect the Docker configuration and hostname handling. Done means repeated restarts no longer create duplicate Buildbot masters while preserving the intended persistent state.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bringing containers down and up with a persistent storage directory results in a trail of "master" buildbot's due to the random hostname.
