Right now the smoke tests (labeled as end to end tests, one for docker one for podman) are designed to run augur from docker for 3 minutes and parse the output looking for specific lines in the log to validate that it starts correctly.

This generally works, but sometimes the github action fails for no application-based reason (no exception etc) and a subsequent rerun usually passes.

Based on the logs, i suspect that, sometimes, the docker container just ends up taking a little too long to close down or something after it is told to stop, causing it to exceed a timeout (probably githubs side but could be our 3 min timeout), causing a job failure

We should find why this happens and fix it so the smoke tests no longer need occasional reruns to do their job (i.e. no phantom failures)
