Container parameters provided on creation time not working

[vamitrou]

Netbox version	Plugin Version	Agent version	Docker API Version
3.6.9		1.6.1	1.45

Actual Behavior

When creating a container using POST request, i provide env and network-settings objects but they are not reflected in the container.

Desired Behavior

The parameters provided in the create request should be stored in the created container.

This is related to #126

You can POST first and then PATCH with the env/labels/binds/mounts/etc...

hi @linkdd this relates yes, however, if i POST first patch afterwards, i would need to recreate the container to use the new values. If the container starts first (which does automatically from what i understood) then the new values are lost.

[linkdd]

Creating the container will put it in the created state, which does not start the container.
Then, you can PATCH it to set the correct values for your environment and network settings.
Finally, you PATCH with the following body to trigger the recreate (which will start the container):

{"operation": "recreate"}

Not an ideal workflow, but it works ™️

This works as designed. Just to mention it here there has to be a CREATE/PATCH/RECREATE workflow in order for this to work. Thanks for your help.
