OJS 3.3 Docker Support: FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly

Software Support
1

Hi Everyone,

I’m attempting to build a docker image for any of the OJS 3x images made available on docker hub, and have encountered this already documented issue: Avoid the error "checkstart entered FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly" · Issue #29 · lucasdiedrich/ojs · GitHub
I tried the workaround suggested and it still errors out.

INFO gave up: checkstart entered FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly

I’ve Googled around and I tried the suggested workaround of setting a retry value and startsecs/exitcodes values. I’m still receiving the same error message, does anyone know how to get past this? I tried to build from the versions folder and locally, and still not able to get my docker image up.

What I changed my supervisord.conf file to do:

command=/usr/local/bin/ojs-pre-start
startsecs=0
exitcodes=0
startretries=10

Links for the suggested workarounds:

Thank you for your help,
Rachel

Hi @wangra,

same problem here, but I can up the containers with this warnings.

docker run -p 8081:80 -p 8443:443 local/ojs:stable-3_3_0

Did you find something else?

Sorry, I completely missed this post.

All changed a lot since 2021 (ie: supervisor was removed), so I hope it is not happening any more.
If you still have trouble with docker images, please fill an issue in the repo.

Cheers,
