synbiohub_autoheal_1 exited with code 7

[tcmitchell]

When I launch SynBioHub via docker-compose I get a slow but steady stream of synbiohub_1 | info: redirecting and synbiohub_autoheal_1 exited with code 7.

Where I got the docker-compose file:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SynBioHub/synbiohub-docker/master/docker-compose.yml

How I launched it (from the README):

sudo docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml up

I'm running on CentOS 7.

The problem seemed to be an old version of docker and docker-compose. CentOS 7 uses a version of docker that is several years old by default, and the same goes for docker-compose.

The solution seems to be installing docker-ce from the docker yum repository, and docker-compose via manual download per the install instructions for each of those projects.

At the request of @cjmyers I'm reopening this issue to turn it into a documentation issue.

The error above was on CentOS 7 (fully up to date as of April 6, 2021):

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

The docker version was 1.13.1 (February, 2017)

$ yum info docker | grep -E 'Version|Release'
Version     : 1.13.1
Release     : 204.git0be3e21.el7

The docker-compose version was 1.18.0 (December, 2017)

$ yum info docker-compose | grep -E 'Version|Release'
Version     : 1.18.0
Release     : 4.el7
