Startup failure after reboot

[ghost]

Have postal running on fresh Ubuntu 20.04. Server rebooted automatically this AM after auto security update and Postal failed to start. Looking at the logs it seems to shutdown after timing out to the database. What would be the best way to approach this issue? Handled via Compose or would this be considered an app bug?

How are you running mysql on your server? you may be interested in #1562

Running everything in docker as per install instructions. Thanks for the reference but there's nothing specific in that thread in how to solve?

You can see that the problem is Postal cannot talk to your database. If you have just rebooted then MySQL will not be running yet as both it and RabbitMQ are slower to start than Postal is so you need to ask Postal to wait using the configuration suggested in that thread.
