5.14.x - Controller will randomly not start due to Unsatisfied dependency / Circular Reference
![](https://static-community.tp-link.com/icon/ea8da7bff9464581a65b73b73eaa6674.jpeg)
This was reported on my repo for the container image I build. This is happening for both the beta and GA versions of 5.14.x: both of the latest beta versions, 5.14.0.11 and 5.14.20.9 and the 5.14.26.1 GA version. There are reports of the app not starting. Oddly enough, it's a scenario where you can take the same Docker image, run it on two identical machines (same OS, same kernel, same Docker version) and get two different results. One will run it fine, the other won't. This is a brand new, clean installation with no previous controller configuration data. I will try to post the logs as a follow up but it keeps saying I am posting an "illegal link" in my post for some reason - probably something in the text of the post.

maybe another clue:
When I run this on a machine that is relatively slow (so full omada startup takes about 2-3 minutes) I see the dependency/bean issue every time.
If I try the same steps on a more powerful machine where startup is around 30s-1 minute, it is starting cleanly and I have no issue.
I'm wondering if there is some race condition going on here?

@cmulk I will say that I have two identical VMs in my 6 machines I am testing on and it's one of the two identical VMs running on the exact same ESXi host where I see the problem so I am not sure if performance of the VM would be a trigger.

The same issue for me - reverted back to the latest 5.13 version.
However - a brand new, standalone Docker instance works as expected.
Where standalone means no cloud connection.
Didn't try to restore the backup from the 5.13 version

i use bentleys docker omada controller
the 5.14 and beta both don't work. get the error that bootloops and never can start.
but downgrading to 5.13 it works fine.
I also tested standalone, that worked fine as well. But for controller, i had to downgrade the controller to 5.13
Fyi the AI wlan optimization does not work for me in 5.13
Someone said you had to update to newer version, but i am unable to. Hopefully there is a fix seeing as i'm not the only one with this issue
Fyi i am using truenas. With jailmaker to setup docker, which i self host bentleys omada controller docker container using dockge docker compose to deploy.

Hi TP-Link, is there any update on this? The silence is not comforting at all for anyone who relies on your software for our networks.

this is my first omada eap (eap-773). I thought i'd try it and give you guys a chance (i was previously using a ubiquiti, so moving to tplink from that was not an easy decision because ubiquiti is very good), but you are dropping the ball here.
i was considering getting a 2nd purchase to then do mesh. But i might have to rethink those plans depending on how this plays out. I'm sure i am not the only one thinking this. So please do not dissapoint
we aren't expecting immediate miracles (though that would be nice). Just don't leave us in the dark and just let us know if you are handling this situation or not. Ty.

We will do some improvement on next version.
If you just want to use the Mesh function, you may consider our hardware controller like OC200, or use the windows version controller temporary.
