Zoneminder container forever waiting for MariaDB to start about zoneminder-base HOT 4 CLOSED

The issue here is there is an uptime check that directly pings the sql server. If it's unreachable, perhaps by misconfiguration or not providing the correct user variables, it will wait until it goes up.

Use the official mariadb image instead of the one by Linux server. The docker-compose files show how things should be ran.

That's the point, the official mariadb image does not exist for arm32/v7, only for arm64/v8 https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb?tab=tags
That's why I faced this issue.
So looks like there are two options for arm32/v7: change the DB image to use s6 supervisor or change zoneminder image to get rid of s6 supervisor.

Maybe there is some simple workaround? Like triggering s6 supervisor from DB container after it creation manually using some command.

You simply need to ensure the DB is accessible to the container by configuring the environment variables. If the container is not able to access the DB, its obviously going to hang waiting for the db to come online. The issue is not s6. The issue is a misconfiguration on your end.

Aha, I thought that the s6 should be injected into the source DB container as well.
Will try to find the reason on my end. Thank you for the fast reply.
