Mysql 8.0.16 on Linux (deb) needs maxTries = 30; to start succesfully

[Nick-B]

Hey @mrvanes! It looks like someone shared some details on a workaround here if you want to give that a try:

Change mysqladmin ping timeout

Don’t mind monkeying with the code and reapplying changes afterwards. I changed the maxTries to 30 and still wasn’t able to start the database, so I added this in the catch statement: this._logger.debug(`No database ping response, try ${i}`); Then ran tail -f ~/Library/Logs/local-lightning-verbose.log in my terminal. Noticed that $i was being incremented twice. The catch() statement is also incrementing the variable in addition to the for statement, so that might be a minor bug. It should try…

I’ll follow up with the Local Devs on this bug as well
