Getting docker-compose up and running

[Llibyddap]

I was checking out your docker work on the Inventree Project. I was able to expose port 8000 on the Inventree container and then run docker-compose up to get the entire stack up and running on localhost:8000. But of course I was missing all your configuration work.

When I followed the readme, (which includes moving the inventree_dev_vhost.conf under the config folder) and ran the following command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f test.yml up -d

it throws an error...

ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

The error is generated (I think) from this line in the test.yml:

` volumes:

• ./config/inventree_dev_vhost.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf`

I'm guessing that the nginx mapping is wrong(?).

If you don't experience a similar error, let me know and I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong on my end. I'm not much of a programmer, but have managed to learn quite a bit from how you've deployed your stack... Thanks.

docker version: 2.2.0.0 running on macOS 10.15.2 (Catalina).

After hitting the submit button, I parsed the error messages much closer to make sure I hadn't configured something wrong... It turns out that there was a directory within the config folder named inventree_dev_vhost.conf.

When i checked the repository, I noted that the config directory isn't actually part of the file structure. I'm guessing that when I did the original docker-compose up command it added the directory and a sub-directory called inventree_dev_vhost.conf looking for the file (I tried running test.yml separately). When I did a move for the .conf file in VSCode it combined the directory so that it looked like just the config directory.

In any event, I'll confess that I broke the first rule and didn't follow the instructions.

Happens to the best of us! It is quite a bit to read.

Yeah that's one annoying quirk with Docker Compose, I've had that happen with the secrets.txt too.

I stumbled upon the same problem, but I don't know docker well enough to understand what is happening here (punny electronician I am :P ).

Here is what I am doing; I'm cloning the github repo, cd into it, mkdir config, cp docker-compose.yml and production.yml into ./config, then make my modifications (setting migrate to true and django create superuser also...) and then I execute docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml -p inventree up -d. I tried to launch from ./inventree-docker and from ./config and got the same error...

I see that something created an inventree_vhost.conf folder when launched from the repo root. Or something created ./config/config/inventree_vhost.conf an migrated my ymls to the repo root when trying to start from ./config.

I'm missing something here.

Okay I think I found my way. I was missing almost all the configuration files. All of those needs to be copied into ./config right?

• docker-compose.yml
• production.yml
• traefik.yml
• inventree_vhost.conf
