Owncloud Docker Server: from "Waiting for MySQL" to "Database didn't come up in time!"

Server
,
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Follow the docker server setup from the official page
  2. Run docker-compose up
  3. See logs without errors but owncloud_server container fails

Expected behaviour

The server should just run noramlly

Actual behaviour

Server keeps waiting for MySQL for ever even though the mysql container is there, healthy, up and running!

Server configuration

Operating system: Debian

Web server: Nginx

Database: MariaDB

PHP version: none → docker install

ownCloud version: I have tried with all 10.x versions I think

Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install:
fresh install

Where did you install ownCloud from:
I followed the docker install steps in the owncloud website

Signing status (ownCloud 9.0 and above):
I cannot do this since the server isn’t even starting

The content of config/config.php:
Whichever is set to be in the official docker image

List of activated apps:
None, server not running.

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: no

Are you using encryption: no

Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: no

The logs above are from my nth try.
I have tried several versions, I even tried with postgres jsut to try…
also I notice that whichever service I put first under depends_on: the outcome is the same, meaning that if I put redis first the issue is the same but instead of Waiting for MySQL... I would see Waiting for Redis...

Same behaviour everytime, I am lost/blocked.

I started customizing the docker-compose.yml file at the beginning but in the example I am using the “vanilla” files from the documentation and the same issue rises.

I have read all post regarding similar issues and I have tried all solutions, I cleared my whole docker setup, I removed volumes, I tried several versions, I tried with different databases… everything, for hours but I cannot seem to see where I am mistaking.

If anyone has any ideas as to how to properly set up a docker owncloud server I will be eternally thankful

thanks!

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this post, I was able to make everything work by upgrading my whole server.

I upgraded everything:

  • the Debian version to “bullseye”
  • the kernel to version “5.10”
  • docker deamon to the latest version (24.x)

It was only after I did this that the owncloud docker container was able to properly start.
