[BUG] Workspace sessions still shown as running after a container restart, but their containers are stopped

The issue is in the startup script svc-kasm/run, which stops all containers after a restart. Look at the docker events output to see the sequence: containers start, then receive SIGTERM (15) and stop. The fix likely involves modifying the script to not stop containers that are already running or to check their state before stopping. Start by examining the script and understanding how Kasm tracks session state versus container state.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

After docker restart kasm, Kasm still has running sessions as running and paused ones as paused, but their containers are Exited (2). For a running one, resume_kasm answers Session (03e5a2ab-7872-4e14-ad37-6af2842a1fb2) is in status (running) and cannot be resumed and get_kasm_status answers Kasm is not running.

dockerd restarts the session containers, since the Kasm agent creates them with unless-stopped and dockerd does not count its own shutdown as a manual stop (moby). Then docker ps -q | xargs docker stop &> /dev/null in svc-kasm/run (added in #102) stops them again:

$ docker exec kasm docker events --since 10m --until "$(date +%s)" --filter label=kasm.kasmid --format '{{.Action}} {{.Actor.Attributes.name}} {{.Actor.Attributes.signal}}'
start adminkasm.lo_f41f757f <no value>
start userkasm.loc_03e5a2ab <no value>
kill userkasm.loc_03e5a2ab 15
kill adminkasm.lo_f41f757f 15
stop adminkasm.lo_f41f757f <no value>
die adminkasm.lo_f41f757f <no value>
stop userkasm.loc_03e5a2ab <no value>
die userkasm.loc_03e5a2ab <no value>

Expected Behavior

Sessions come back in the state Kasm has them in: running, paused or stopped.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch a Workspace session.
2. docker restart kasm and wait for Kasm to be back.
3. docker exec kasm docker ps -a --filter label=kasm.kasmid shows the session container Exited (2), while Kasm still has the session as running.
4. resume_kasm and get_kasm_status for it fail with the errors above.

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (kernel 6.18, cgroup v1)
- How docker service was installed: docker-ce 29.3.1 from Docker's apt repository
- Workspace image: kasmweb/remmina:1.19.0-rolling-daily

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

docker run -d --name kasm --privileged --network host --stop-timeout 90 \
  -e KASM_PORT=443 \
  -v /path/to/kasm/data:/opt \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/kasm:1.19.0-ls150
# plus HTTPS_PROXY and a CA bundle for the test VM's egress proxy
