Metabase stuck at startup

Hi,

I had to restart Metabase and since it is stuck at “INFO metabase.driver :: Registered abstract driver :sql”. Has anyone faced this issue already? Any idea how to solve this?

Here is the log:
May 18 13:10:16 vps686147 start[1689]: 05-18 13:10:16 INFO metabase.util :: Loading Metabase…

I am running metabase on Ubuntu 18.04.2 with MySQL.

Hi @npanti
Which version of Metabase? Are you using Docker?
If you wait for 20-30 minutes, does it then start?

Hi @flamber,

I used the latest version of Metabase 0.32.8 with the .jar build.
Indeed after a long time (35min) Metabase started. Any idea why it is taking so long?

Thanks

@npanti

Just to make it clear, are you building your own version or using the JAR-file download?
What system are you running Metabase on?
And which version of Java?

It sounds very similar to this issue:
