wrong version reported

[ikzelf]

since version reported v0.5.1 (and I have other issues) I ran brew upgrade container-compose

Warning: container-compose 0.6.0 already installed
ronr@ronrmb04 zabbix-server % container-compose --version
container-compose version v0.5.1

does my installation have an issue?

[Mcrich23]

No. I just forgot to change the version number before releasing it. I am considering re-releasing 0.6.0.

[ikzelf]

thanks for your response. So I have the latest version but have a different problem.
I tried to get this setup running: https://codeberg.org/ronr/container-zabbix-server
for which I have one issue https://codeberg.org/ronr/container-zabbix-server/issues/1
would you mind taking a look?

[Mcrich23]

Can you please share you compose file?

[ikzelf]

Sure, here it is

https://codeberg.org/ronr/container-zabbix-server/src/branch/main/zabbix-server/compose.yaml

I hope I made a mistake...

[Mcrich23]

Instead of using DB_SERVER_HOST: ${POSTGRES_DB_SERVER} try setting it to a url based on postgresql-server. For example:

DB_SERVER_HOST: postgresql-server/test

[ikzelf]

Starting service: zabbix-server
Starting zabbix-server

zabbix-server: ** Preparing Zabbix server
** Preparing database
** Using POSTGRES_USER variable from ENV
** Using POSTGRES_PASSWORD variable from ENV

---

• DB_SERVER_HOST: ${POSTGRES_DB_SERVER}/${POSTGRES_DB}
• DB_SERVER_PORT: 5432
• DB_SERVER_DBNAME: zabbix
• DB_SERVER_SCHEMA: public

I noticed variable names instead of their values changed to literals in the compose file:

zabbix-server: ** Preparing Zabbix server
** Preparing database
** Using POSTGRES_USER variable from ENV
** Using POSTGRES_PASSWORD variable from ENV

zabbix-server: ********************

• DB_SERVER_HOST: postgresql-server/zabbix
• DB_SERVER_PORT: 5432
• DB_SERVER_DBNAME: zabbix
• DB_SERVER_SCHEMA: public

still problems accessing the database:

zabbix-server: **** PostgreSQL server is not available. Waiting 5 seconds...
from zabbix-server I can ping the postgresql-server but only on IP address.

I can connect to the database from terminal using IP port dbname giving me the impression that the database is OK but the zabbix-server can't connect it. How should zabbix-server resolve to postgresql-server?

I verified the files with podman compose and works without any issues. Issue seems to really be related to container(-compose).

[Mcrich23]

@ikzelf I think you misunderstood what i was saying. Try doing DB_SERVER_HOST: postgresql-server instead

[Mcrich23]

however, this does appear to be a bug with secrets, so I will continue to investigate. That should just be a quick workaround.

[ikzelf]

also tried with

  zabbix-server:
    image: zabbix/zabbix-server-pgsql:latest
    container_name: zabbix-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - postgresql-server
    environment:
      DB_SERVER_HOST: postgresql-server

<snip>
zabbix-server: **** PostgreSQL server is not available. Waiting 5 seconds...

Error Domain=ContainerWait Code=1 "Timed out waiting for container 'zabbix-server-zabbix-server' to be running." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Timed out waiting for container 'zabbix-server-zabbix-server' to be running.}
zabbix-server: **** PostgreSQL server is not available. Waiting 5 seconds...

zabbix-server: **** PostgreSQL server is not available. Waiting 5 seconds...

that made no difference.

just verified with version 0.7.0:
