IIRC the name of the master is set according to the hostname of the
docker instance. And docker instance will have a random hostname each time.

This could be solved by forcing a static hostname using the hostname
attribute in docker-compose (or the equivalent in docker command line).

As for cleaning up the mess, I don't have any help here. Maybe someone
else could chime in. Worst case you can connect to the database and
delete the rows manually (please take a back up of the database in case
this does not work).
