Issue Summary

I never get the database connection to work if I try to run the docker-compose command. Or do I have to run “follow-up” commands, to finish the installation?

I read this thread: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres", after "docker-compose up -d" on your EC2 AMI - #12 by arikfr

But it still fails :confused:

After running docker-compose, everything seems to be smoothly running, until I do

wget localhost.

Technical details:

  • Redash Version: 10.0.1
  • Browser/OS: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal
  • How did you install Redash: Using docker-compose
2

If you’re installing from the setup script, this tends to happen when you do the installation of Redash for a 2nd time, but forget to remove the “postgres-data” directory before hand.

So, the setup runs and generates a new configuration… but the existing PostgreSQL database is seen and used (with the old values, including the old password). So, things don’t work at that point.

Assuming this is supposed to be a totally fresh installation of Redash (eg you don’t need to keep the existing Redash database), you should be able to:

  1. Shut down the docker containers (docker-compose down)
  2. Wipe the /opt/redash directory (rm -rf /opt/redash)
  3. Then run the setup.sh script again
