Properly contained appwrite main app cannot run probably predefined ports on Synology
Hello! We tried to reinstall our main self-hosted appwrite with a new method but the main app 2 mins after launch throw this error:
TypeScript
2025/06/22 16:16:14 stdout #2 {main}
2025/06/22 16:16:14 stdout #1 [internal function]: {closure}()
2025/06/22 16:16:14 stdout #0 /usr/src/code/app/http.php(253): createDatabase(Object(Utopia\App), 'getLogsDB', 'logs', Array, Object(Utopia\Pools\Group))
2025/06/22 16:16:14 stdout Stack trace:
2025/06/22 16:16:14 stdout Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: └── Failed to connect to database: Failed to create connection: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused in /usr/src/code/app/http.php:185```
In normal docker (on windows) this error never shown, just on Synology NAS.
Somebody know what is this, and how to fix it?
TL;DR
Main self-hosted appwrite instance running on Synology NAS throws error related to DB connection issue. The app is not able to connect to the logs DB. Error message indicates a failed connection to the database. The issue doesn't occur on Windows.
Solution:
- Check if the database container is properly configured and accessible.
- Ensure correct ports are defined and not conflicting on Synology NAS.
- Verify the environment variables and configurations for the appwrite container.
- Refer to detailed installation guides for container setup on DSM 7.2.
- Troubleshoot the networking setup on Synology NAS that might be causing the connection refusal.
there's a DB connection issue it seems from the logs. appwrite instance isn't able to connect to the logs DB.
We tried to reinstall, use another ports etc. but the problem the same. I personally cannot find any proper container installment guide for the DSM 7.2, the redis, mariadb, and influx containers works perfectly and dont get any errors just the main app cannot run.
We using this configuration to compose if this tell anything - but on windows this works.
