Help needed installing Part-DB on MacOS in Docker

[mrWheel]

Describe the bug I followed the instructions for using the docker image but it seems the "Volumes" are not correct connected.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create the docker-compose.yaml as in this document example
2. In Docker Desktop go to Resources -> File Sharing
3. Mount the db, public_media and uploads folders, located in the same directory where the docker-compose.yaml file is located.
4. execute docker-compose up --build output:

    docker-compose up --build

5. execute docker exec --user=www-data partdb php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
6. in browser http://localhost:8080

Expected behavior Part-DB page starts -> OK Expect app.db in ./db --> it is not!!! There is no app.db anywhere on my iMac!

Screenshots

Server Side

• Part-DB Version: [Part-DB 1.8.2]
• Database Server [SQLite]

Desktop:

• OS: [macOS Monterey 12.7.1]
• Browser [chrome]
• Version [119.0.6045.159 (Official Build) (x86_64)]

Additional context I have had a working Part-DB (I created it long ago with the provided Dockerfile, but that does not work anymore complaining about symfony.conf not found) in Docker but suddenly Docker would not startup anymore. So I followed these instructions.

I had the same issue on my Mac. It was working well, suddenly, one day it stops working. I was able to run it again by the following method:

1. Go to finder and open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app

2. Find Docker or Docker Desktop (it was in Not responding mode in my case) and Force Kill the app.

3. Run the following command in Terminal: sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.*

4. Open the setting file in the terminal:

    sudo nano ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json

then find "filesharingDirectories":

5. Remove all entries inside this key and leave it as "filesharingDirectories": [], save and close the file.
6. Finally go to the Application folder, find Docker and run it (wait sometime, it takes a minute or so to run)

Probably steps 3, 4, and 5 removed my working Part-DB container!!! Luckily I still have the app.db so I hope to restore my data.

• In Docker Desktop go to Resources -> File Sharing
• Mount the db, public_media and uploads folders, located in the same directory where the docker-compose.yaml file is located.

You should not need to do this steps when using a docker-compose file. These mapping should be done automatically, when running docker-compose up.

I would expect, that defining these manually before running docker-compose, messes up the real mapping process. So you should try to just run docker-compose up in a fresh folder with the docker-compose.yaml file. The folders and volume mappings should get created automatically.

@jbtronics, Jan, Thanks for your reply! I removed the bindings from Resources -> File Sharing If I run docker-composer up -d I get this messages:
