Logging not working

[Kloppi313]

Current Behavior

Deployed a new installation (Ubuntu 2404 with docker compose v2), because of not working LDAP Authentication, I activate Logging: configuration/logging.py (deleting comment chars beginning at line LOGLEVEL = environ.get('LOGLEVEL', 'INFO'))
Restarting the containers ->

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

running docker compose up -d later again, starts the container: maybe configure a longer standard timeout or add this information to the docs?
running netbox docker on a 2 CPU / 4GB RAM machine. Only netbox, fresh install of OS + netbox

[tobiasge]

The log shows that error:

netbox-netbox-1        | IndentationError: unexpected indent

You have an error in your configuration/configuration.py.

[Kloppi313]

there does not seem to be an error.
It is just, that postgres needs initial more time to start, with DEBUG Logging. Therefor netbox-1 runs into a timeout
After postgres is once started, restarting works fine.
So my suggestion is to increase timeout or to add an information into docs / logging.py

[tobiasge]

There is an example with documentation: /~https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/blob/release/docker-compose.override.yml.example

[Kloppi313]

So you are referring to
start_period: 90s

well ok, that should do the trick. Thank you
Sorry for the noise.
