Docker container ac-database does not start for AzerothCore

Question

I've cloned the latest version of AzerothCore-WotLK at https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk

Building the docker containers works fine, but when running docker-compose up -d I get:

docker logs ac-database shows:

Some things I've tried:

• Pruning volumes or even running docker system prune -a makes no difference.
• Restarting docker makes no difference.
• I've tried to find more logs or error information, but to no avail so far. I'm not very experienced with docker though.

Software used:

• Windows 10 (Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045)
• Docker version 25.0.3
• Docker compose version v2.24.5-desktop.1
• WSL version 2.0.14.0

Any ideas on what I can do to further debug this?

Answer 1

This turned out to be a disk space issue.

Despite Docker being configured to store disk images on D:, docker-scout ends up taking a lot of space in C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Temp\docker-scout.

Cleaning up some space on C: resolved this for me.
