Docker container not working

[tiritibambix]

Hello.

I've been willing to see a tool like Noted Reminders for a while and I'm happy you worked on it.

I'm not a genius when it comes to computers, but I try my best.

I use Portainer as a GUI to manage my containers.

I tried copy-pasting and tweaking the provided docker-compose.yml (/srv/Files/Noted/noted-db:/app, TZ=Europe/Paris and ports 8008:8080) but I then ran into an error : python3: can't open file '/app/Noted.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

So I copied Noted.py from the repo to /srv/Files/Noted/noted-db:/app I ran into this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/Noted.py", line 11, in <module>
    from backend.db import close_db, setup_db, DBConnection
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'backend'

I also tried cloning the whole repo in /srv/Files/Noted/noted-db and run the stack in portainer. While the logs say No log line matching the '' filter, I can access Noted, create an account, add a notification service for discord (discord://webhook_id/webhook_token), create a reminder, but I don't get any notification.

Finally, I tried cloning, editing docker-compose.yml and running docker compose up -d. Same as above: the logs say No log line matching the '' filter, I can access Noted, create an account, add a notification service for discord (discord://webhook_id/webhook_token), create a reminder, but I don't get any notification.

I also tried to input https://discord.com/api/webhooks/webhook_id/webhook_token because why not. It won't work.

What am I doing wrong ?

I think it has to do with the volume mounting to /app. I'll see what I can do in a few hours:)

This is my first application with docker support so I'm learning too.

I'd be glad to test and share the results :)

For the docker setup documentation, maybe it should be worth mentioning that cloning the repo is necessary in order to build the app.

Just wanted to chime in to say I had the same issue with permissions.

What was your approach installing it in the end ?

[arvigeus]

Correction, I still have same issue.

   noted:
     image: mrcas/noted:latest
     hostname: noted
     container_name: noted
     restart: unless-stopped
     environment:
       - TZ=${TZ}
     volumes:
       - ${DATA}/noted/app:/app

Did you try this ?

I'll wait for official fix, no hurry

The time is defined by the TZ environment variable. make sure to put TZ=Europe/Paris and try again.

If that does not work please check the time and date on the host using date and see if it matches. If not run the following command timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Paris

Use sudo if required.

@tiritibambix your problem with getting your notification an hour late is a problem that should be fixed but is not related to the docker issue we have in the thread. Please make a new issue for the problem you're experiencing with getting notifications 1 hour late (timezone conflicts probably).

Cloning the repo could be the fix...

I will

I'm having the same issue.

Maybe @Casvt can upload your dockerfile to the repo so if you're having troubles maybe we can help you ?

@antoine2tt

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1

FROM python:3.8-slim-buster

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "python3", "/app/Noted.py" ]

I think it has to do with the fact that the volume is mounted at /app, where the whole project is also located. So those two mix and mess it up. That's what I think. If I change Noted to put the database in its own subfolder and make docker mount the volume in this subfolder, where only the db is located, I think it'll fix stuff

[Casvt]

Alright, I've made an updated version of the docker image. Please do the following and let me know how it goes:

docker run -d \
    --name noted \
    -v noted-db:/app/db \
    -e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    mrcas/noted:v1.0.1-beta

[Antoine2tt]

Alright ! It's working now.

Just, i think that they're an issue with the docker logs, i have nothing when attached to the container

[Casvt]

@tiritibambix @arvigeus please let me know if it's also working for you now :)

[tiritibambix]

@tiritibambix @arvigeus please let me know if it's also working for you now :)

It's working great. Thank you :)

I'll wait for this to be implemented in the latest version but in the meantime I may close the issue

@Antoine2tt, @arvigeus and @tiritibambix

V1.0.1 has been released, where the docker container is fixed and some timezone problems are fixed. mrcas/noted:latest will get you this new version now. Please note that the command to run the docker container has changed:

OLD:

docker run -d \
    --name noted \
    -v noted-db:/app \
    -e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    mrcas/noted:latest

NEW:

docker run -d \
    --name noted \
    -v noted-db:/app/db \
    -e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    mrcas/noted:latest
