Container is in an endless restart-loop

[stevleibelt]

Hey, I just wanted to use adminer in a simple docker-compose.yml stack:

version: '3.7'

services:
    adminer_application:
        container_name: example-adminer
        hostname: adminer.application
        image: adminer:4
        ports:
            - 8080:8080
        restart: unless-stopped
    mysql_dbms:

        command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
        container_name: example-mysql
        environment:
            MYSQL_USER: foo
            MYSQL_PASSWORD: bar
            MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: bar
        hostname: mysql.database
        image: mysql:8
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - ./../../data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

While the mysql container is running great, the adminer container is in an endless restart loop.

When I comment out the "restart: unless-stopped" and try to start it with:

docker container start -a example-adminer

I get this output:

[Wed Sep 19 09:57:41 2018] Failed to listen on :::8080 (reason: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve)
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Unknown: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

Same output is produced when I start the container with:

docker container start -i example-adminer

sudo netstat -tulp | grep -c 8080

Returns "0".

What am I doing wrong?
I've also tried it with no container_name or no hostname definition in the docker-compose.yml.

Here are some specs about my environemnt:

#docker --version
Docker version 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a21
#docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.22.0, build unknown
#uname -a
Linux <hostname> 4.14.70-1-lts #1 SMP Sat Sep 15 16:47:42 CEST 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
#cat /etc/issue
Arch Linux \r (\l)

Thanks in advance and especially for your work so far,
Stev

@stevleibelt Sorry for getting back to you just now.

Your error message:

Failed to listen on :::8080 (reason: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve)

looks like IPv6 support is disabled in your Kernel, could this be the case? You might have success running Adminer by reverting this change: 73de6b9.

You really really should get IPv6 working, though (even if only for loopback and link local) 😄

@TimWolla

Thank you very much, yes indeed I had to disable ip v6 in my kernel to make a mandatory but proprietary software to work :-(.
Really thanks for your reply I will close it now.

Thanks for the answer @TimWolla

Reverting to the docker-image adminer:4.2.5-standalone (i.e. before the change 73de6b9) seems to do the trick if you really can't enable ipv6
