Hey everyone 👋 Just starting to test out Airbyte locally, following the QuickStart instructions, but I just end up with this looping repeatedly:
Copy code
airbyte-temporal    | Waiting for PostgreSQL to startup.
airbyte-temporal    | nc: bad address 'db'
anyone else run into this?

Hey @Will Curatolo thanks for the question. Seems like a subset of users run into this problem. Sorry that your first experience with Airbyte isn’t a smooth one. Could you provide some more details on what your environment looks like? What OS are you using? Does restarting the docker service work?

Is this your first time deploying Airbyte: yes OS Version / Instance: Mac OS 11.5.1 (intel chip) Memory / Disk: 16Gb / 500GB Flash storage Deployment: Docker Airbyte Version: 0.40.17 Source name/version: N/A Destination name/version: N/A Step:
docker-compose up
Description: Following the guide here, I ran
git clone <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git>
, then
cd airbyte
, then
docker-compose up
. Eventually enters a bad state where it loops

Restarting docker, and repulling the repo does not help

Docker didn't have enough space:
docker system prune
fixed it - I think I'm up and running!

Hey Will, glad to hear it was easily fixed by deleting some unused docker volumes. Thanks for sticking through and debugging the issue. Feel free to post more questions here in the channel.
