Zeabur Migration Issues

Symptom

Waiting for database migrations to complete...
Waiting for database migrations to complete...
(repeating forever)

Cause

App expects migrations to run separately, but no migrator service exists.

Solutions

Option A: Add migration to API startup

# In api service — command MUST be inside source
spec:
  source:
    image: myapp:latest
    command:
      - /bin/sh
      - -c
      - "python manage.py wait_for_db && python manage.py migrate && exec ./entrypoint.sh"

Option B: Add migrator service

- name: migrator
  spec:
    source:
      image: same-backend-image
      command:
        - ./bin/docker-entrypoint-migrator.sh
    env:
      DATABASE_URL: ...

Option A is simpler – migrations run on API startup and are idempotent (safe to repeat).
