Complete install v4 without using browser? #108

Closed hess8 closed 3 years ago

Is there a way to do a complete install of v4 without a browser?

Yesterday I set up a v3 Lychee serve that worked well. Today, I deleted it and started over with a v4 server with docker-compose. It runs, but when I first log in from a remote browser, it goes to an installer. All is OK until the final step of http:/xxx/install/env, and it says it can't find the lychee database, even though I can see it is listening. I'm wondering if this is because I can't run a browser on my server; It's a headless server with no gui. So I have to connect in a browser that is remote from the server.

That should still work with a remote browser, but I'll admit I haven't tested the installer much from the Docker container. If you want to bypass the installer, you should be able to configure everything with environment variables or a .env file (see the later sections of the readme). If the installer can't see the database, it's possible Lychee itself won't either though.

What is the web installer trying to accomplish? My v3 didn't require the web installer and it worked.

It's primarily so that those on shared hosting without shell access can set up Lychee, but also helps some less technical users set it up without having to use the .env file.
