Database stuck in 'Restarting'

[shrmnk]

I have a mariadb service stuck in 'Restarting'. Issue persists on reboot. Everything on apt is up-to-date. Fresh installation on DigitalOcean Ubuntu 16.04. No other software installed apart from dokku and its dependencies.

dokku plugins installed:

• letsencrypt
• mariadb
• postgres

There is just 1 other mariadb service that is running and works well.

dokku mariadb:stop

! Service is already stopped

dokku mariadb:start

-----> Starting container docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/dokku.mariadb.bigtime-db-staging" is already in use by container "fa87f9e256425729f41155318041f30b7e37578637cd51fa178c95833ca4e858". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name. See 'docker run --help'.

dokku mariadb:destroy --force

Stop the container before attempting removal or force remove

Seems like the logs were deleted. If the container is in "restarting" mode, then that means it is likely in an error state. You can force remove the container and then call dokku mariadb:start if thats the case.

Hi! I have the same problem. Even with 'dokku mariadb:create newservice'. Did you do another thing to solve it?

@nvirin please do not comment on old issues. If you can open a new issue and provide the following information, that would be great:

dokku report
dokku mariadb:list
dokku mariadb:info YOUR_SERVICE
dokku mariadb:logs YOUR_SERVICE
docker ps -a
