budibase with docker - container "unhealthy"

[diedder]

I've made a new installation wirh the single container install. Everthything seems to work but docker (and portainer ui) marks the container as "unhealthy"

Failurecount raises slowly. How can I fix this? What information to share here for possible investigations?

Edit: this issue may have been caused by a bug (#6767) which we've now fixed. Please try deploying it again with the latest image!

Original reply: Hi @diedder. Did you run it using plain docker (e.g. a "Container" in portainer) or docker compose (a "Stack" in portainer)? I would recommend using docker compose, using the config defined in our docs https://docs.budibase.com/docs/docker#method-2---docker-compose. Running it manually as a container works as well of course, but it's just a lot more error prone as you have to manually ensure the env variables, volumes and ports etc are set up correctly.

Copy and paste that as a portainer stack, change the secrets to something secure and random and then deploy it. I've just ran through that exact procedure and can confirm everything works perfectly.

Hi @aptkingston,
I tried with the latest single image but the container is still "unhealty" but seems to work. I used the compose-stack.
For my work I'm now using the multiple container stack.

@aptkingston
I ran into the same problem with the latest image.
If you use the 'quick' command below, as described on Docker Hub and the Documentation, the container is unhealthy and you get the error:

Warning: Using a password with '-a' or '-u' option on the command line interface may not be safe. Warning: AUTH failed ERROR: Redis is down

   docker run -d -t \
   --name=budibase \
   -p 10000:80 \
   -v /local/path/data:/data \
   --restart unless-stopped \
   budibase/budibase:latest

When you pass the redis password as an environment variable, the error is solved and the container is healthy:

   docker run -d -t \
   --name=budibase \
   -p 10000:80 \
   -v /local/path/data:/data \
   -e REDIS_PASSWORD="budibase" \
   --restart unless-stopped \
   budibase/budibase:latest
