`make build up logs` fails

[christoph-maurer]

When I follow the README until make build up logs, I get

container metabase_development-frontend-1 is unhealthy
make: *** [Makefile:93: up] Error 1

Is it the same problem which we currently have in production?

[christoph-maurer]

I ran make build && make up logs. Now it works. I think that I should have waited longer and checking with docker ps until all containers are healthy.

[simonwacker]

Just for clarity: Whether you run make build up logs or make build && make up logs makes no significant difference. The issue is rather how long a service needs after being started to compile the code (in the frontend to compile the typescript code and in the backend to compile the C# code) and run the respective webservers to serve the UI (frontend) or the API (backend). If, with the current configuration, this takes longer than 1:40 minutes, then it is said to be unhealthy, even if seconds later the healthcheck would succeed. This can be particularly problematic for slower machines or for machines that do other resource intensive tasks in parallel. I'll increase the time to make healthy containers less likely to be declared unhealthy.
