## Background
I'm trying to self-host twenty using [official 1-Click w/ Docker Compose
guide](https://twenty.com/developers/section/self-hosting/docker-compose)
on AWS EC2 (using `t3.small` instance type).
## What happened
I used the one-line script but it failed with
```
[skipped]
server-1 | Successfuly migrated DB!
dependency failed to start: container twenty-server-1 is unhealthy
```
Then I tried manual steps, and it failed again with same issue as above.
No configuration changed, everything default used.
I re-run manual steps multiple times with `docker compose down -v` and
`docker compose up`, everything time it failed with `server` unhealthy
as it seems server takes longer than configured health check duration
(which is 50 seconds)
Here's the `time` summary running it:
```
[skipped]
server-1 | Successfuly migrated DB!
dependency failed to start: container twenty-server-1 is unhealthy

```
## Why it happend
My hunch (new to twenty, just used it yesterday) is that server service
takes much longer to become healthy with DB migration and etc, that
configured health check retries is not sufficient.
## What solution worked
Increased the retry for server service from 10 to 20, and it worked and
service came up healthy (everytime). The increase wasn't needed for db
or worker service, just server service.
If this all makes sense, please feel free to merge this, so it'll be
smoother experience for others new to self-hosting twenty.
Adding the placeholders for the environment variables related to setting
up the mail and calendar sync. This will make the Twenty setup easier
for new users.

Replaced multiple environment variables for frontend URL construction
with a single FRONTEND_URL variable. This change reduces complexity and
improves clarity by consolidating frontend URL handling into one source.
Updated relevant validations and removed unused variables like
FRONT_PROTOCOL and FRONT_PORT.
Fix#10016
This PR updates the docker-compose installation documentation and env
sample to improve the setup experience.
- Updates the URLs for raw files to reference main branch, which is
likely where new users will be pulling from initially. This seems to be
the most straightforward option; assume that advanced users who want to
retrieve it from a particular tag will know to change the URL for their
scenario.
- Fixes an improperly stated curl command.
- Adds a note that the PGPASSWORD_SUPERUSER should be URL-safe. This is
required since the value is later concat into a PG_DATABASE_URL as a
URL, and expected to be in proper URL format. Touches on #8597.

I think it would be easier if the default behavior for the container was
to run the migration, and setting the environment variable would be used
to disable it (e.g. on the worker).
Long-term goal is for the default setup to work out of the box with ~2
env variables only (database url, redis url)
I don't think there's a big risk if people forget to turn it off on the
worker?
We will remove the `twenty-postgres` image that was used for local
development and only use `twenty-postgres-pilo` (which we use in prod),
bringing the development environment closer to prod and avoiding having
to maintain 2 images.
Instead of provisioning the super user after the db initialization, we
directly rely on the superuser provided by Spilo for simplicity. We also
introduce a change that tries to create the right database (`default` or
`test`) based on the context.
How to test:
```
docker build -t twentycrm/twenty-postgres-spilo:latest -f ./packages/twenty-docker/twenty-postgres-spilo/Dockerfile .
docker images --no-trunc | grep twenty-postgres-spilo
postgres-on-docker:
docker run \
--name twenty_pg \
-e PGUSER_SUPERUSER=twenty \
-e PGPASSWORD_SUPERUSER=twenty \
-e ALLOW_NOSSL=true \
-v twenty_db_data:/home/postgres/pgdata \
-p 5432:5432 \
REPLACE_WITH_IMAGE_ID
```
Closes#7421

code modules. The most important changes include updates to environment
variable files, Docker and Kubernetes configurations, and code modules

Added upgrade instructions for the new `REDIS_URL` variable.

In this PR:
- update your environment variables to default `CACHE_STORAGE_TYPE` to
`redis` and `MESSAGE_QUEUE_TYPE` to `bull-mq`
- add redis container to our default docker-compose
- add `REDIS_HOST` and `REDIS_PORT` to docker-compose yaml
- add upgrade instructions
Add a new util called `resolveAbsolutePath` to allow providing absolute
path for environment variable like `STORAGE_LOCAL_PATH`.
If the path in the env start with `/` we'll not prefix it with
`process.cwd()`.
Also we're using a static path for the old `db_initialized` file now
named `db_status` and stop using the env variable for this file as this
one shouldn't ne stored in the `STORAGE_LOCAL_PATH`.
Fix#4794

Having 2 different dev setups caused confusion, let's remove the Docker
local setup and recommend people install yarn locally.
Also simplified some docs by merging pages together, the recommend
self-hosting option is now the docker-compose / to adapt the
docker-compose.
