Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

[Slimly-foutyfour]

Am on my first build of netbox-docker community and my first posting - I need some help getting netbox-docker running.

I am running
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

docker -v
Docker version 20.10.12, build 20.10.12-0ubuntu4

docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown

contents of docker-compose.overide.yml

version: '3.4'
services:
netbox:
ports:
- 8000:8080

during the docker-compose up

but ends with

am I missing something

Your Redis container is not accessible. You can see that here:

...
netbox-worker_1 | File "/opt/netbox/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/redis/connection.py", line 615, in connect
netbox-worker_1 | raise TimeoutError("Timeout connecting to server")

Maybe there are already problems before when starting the Redis container ? Depending on where Redis runs with you.

But if you use the default compose file, then by default you should have a Redis and a Redis cache container in the same compose stack. If that is the case, then it sounds more like a problem with the Docker variables of the Redis / Redis Cache / NetBox instances or a Docker network problem.

But to my ears it sounds like a network problem. I assume that the container is down or not yet reachable when the netbox-worker container tries to connect to the redis database.
