Container mailserver-mda-1 fails to start: Timeout after 2m0s waiting on dependencies to become available

[cmonty14]

Hi, I noticed that container mailserver-mda-1 fails to start. The error message in container's logfile is:

2024/02/03 20:49:27 Waiting for: tcp://db:3306
2024/02/03 20:49:27 Waiting for: file:///media/tls/mailserver.crt
2024/02/03 20:49:27 Waiting for: file:///media/tls/mailserver.key
2024/02/03 20:49:27 Connected to tcp://db:3306
2024/02/03 20:51:27 Timeout after 2m0s waiting on dependencies to become available: [tcp://db:3306 file:///media/tls/mailserver.crt file:///media/tls/mailserver.key]

Port 3306 is pointing to running container mailserver-db-1. This is content of container's logfile:

Can you please advise how to fix this issue?

Imo there's an authentication issue with the database.

I found a very similar issue #175 with this solution: Please check your database permissions, especially the permitted hosts.

What does this mean?

Please note: this is a test deployment in my homelab on VM running Arch Linux.
