Summary of the issue you are facing:
Since December, the appapi-harp proxy has stopped starting up in Docker. It gets stuck in a boot loop and restarts every few seconds.
I’ve reported an issue on GitHub, but nothing’s happened for four months. Am I the only one with this problem? Does nobody use appapi-harp anymore? The admin dashboard wants me to use harp, but it doesn’t work. Even if I completely delete the container and reinstall everything, it still doesn’t work. It just keeps getting stuck in a boot loop.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Install appapi-harp as in documentation described.
-
watch “docker ps” appapi-harp ist restarting all the time.
