            Oops! Something went wrong.

We are so sorry, but something went terribly wrong when starting or running this add-on.

Be sure to check the log above, line by line, for hints.

[cont-finish.d] 99-message.sh: exited 0. [cont-finish.d] done. [s6-finish] waiting for services. [s6-finish] sending all processes the TERM signal.

@esnil The longer startup times are expected, since well, it needs to compile the code.

The main problem is with node-red-contrib-modbus, they are behind on their dependency updates.

Thanks for letting me know it worked out @esnil 👍

They are only used / available during the container build and removed before finishing.
