I currently get the error below when starting Overview. Everything still works however, but the start script fails.

psql: could not translate host name "overview-database" to address: Name does not resolve
Command failed with error 2

We should consider hiding this error message. The message is expected.

During startup, we 1) start booting the database, and 2) wait for the database to finish booting. We wait by trying to connect repeatedly until success. The first connect often fails. That's the whole point -- if it never failed, we wouldn't need it. So that error message is useless.

When we fix this bug, we can't simply hide the error message every connect attempt. We don't expect the tenth attempt to fail, so an error message from that one will be an important debugging tool.

In the meantime, @kmarhold: thank you for the bug report! It should have no impact on your Overview experience.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't get this message before, so I thought something was going wrong internally, but indeed everything works.
