How can I make sure FusionAuth is running when I start it via docker-compose?

[dan]

It's not responding at the port 9011, like it should.

Is there a way to test or ping the FusionAuth App to make sure its up and running other than using docker ps -a?

A good way to test the app is up and running is to run docker logs 27e4c9edd311 where 27e4c9edd311 is the docker container id, which is found by running docker ps|grep fusionauth.

If you are using docker-compose, you can also run docker-compose logs -f fusionauth.

Look in the logs for any errors. On successful startup, you'll see this message (with perhaps a different version message):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------- Starting FusionAuth version [1.16.0-RC.1] -------------------------------
