Hello all!

A have a huge hassle setting this marvelous thing up, and finally, it seems, all my:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://lemmy:PASSWORD@postgres:5432/lemmy: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "lemmy"

vanished as I, it seems, got lemmy to connect to my postgres database...

When I start up though, I still get one error and I would like to know if it's "normal" (some race condition maybe) or not at all and I falsely believe it all is OK...

Thanks in beforehand!

Here is the output when I start it all up:

If you want to avoid it happening, you can add a healthcheck to the postures service. Have a look online for docker healthchecks for postgres. That'll let it ensure it's actually ready to receive queries before dependencies start up.
