I’m currently in the process of restoring our OpenRemote deployment to a new AWS EC2 instance, following these steps:
- Pulled the latest OpenRemote code using the Quick Start guide
- Modified the
docker-compose.ymlto reflect the public IP address of the new instance. - Followed the
Backup/Restore OpenRemote DBprocedure from the [Developer Guide: Useful Commands and Queries
I also updated the following values in docker-compose.yml to match the values used in the previous production system:
KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD
OR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
After restoring the database and starting the stack, the openremote-manager-1 container remains unhealthy and fails with the message:
‘dependency failed to start: container openremote-manager-1 is unhealthy’
I’d appreciate advice on the best practice for migrating OpenRemote to a new instance.
I have seen this error in the logs depending on the password settings in docker-compose.yml:
