Connect to an already running Nitter instance

Would it be possible to use this connecting to an already running Nitter instance?

I solved this.

I added a new variable (container_name) to nitter.py file:

    host: IPv4Address
    port: int
    container_name: str

I added this function to my nitter.py file:

def get(self):
        client = self._get_client()
        self.container = client.containers.get(
            container_id=self.container_name
        )
        logger.info(f"Got container {self.container.name} {self.container.short_id}. Status {self.container.status} at {self.address}.")

And the context manager looks like this:

@contextmanager
def NitterScraper(host: str = "0.0.0.0", port: int = 8008, container_name: str = "ff1fc8e9f922"):
    """The NitterScraper context manager.

    Takes care of configuring, starting, and stopping a docker instance of nitter.

    Args:
        host: The host address the docker container will bind too.
        port: The port the docker container will listen to.
        container_name: The name or id of the container to connect.

    Yields:
        Nitter: An object representing a started nitter docker container.
    """
    nitter = Nitter(host=host, port=port, container_name=container_name)
    nitter.get()
    yield nitter
