First backup failing

[Eirikr70]

Hello, I am failing setting up Borgmatic for the first backup, and I hardly find where to look for. I have tried to run it as root with no more luck. Here is my docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  borgmatic:
    image: ghcr.io/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic
    container_name: borgmatic
    volumes:
      - /srv/nas:/mnt/source:ro            # backup source
      - /srv/hdd/borg:/mnt/borg-repository      # backup target
      - ./borgmatic-conf:/etc/borgmatic.d/  # borgmatic config file(s) + crontab.txt
      - ./state:/root/.borgmatic # borgmatic state files
      - ./borg-conf:/root/.config/borg   # config and keyfiles
#      - ${VOLUME_SSH}:/root/.ssh                   # ssh key for remote repositories
      - ./cache:/root/.cache/borg     # checksums used for deduplication
    environment:
      - TZ="Europe/Paris"
#      - BORG_PASSPHRASE=''
      - BACKUP_CRON=0 2 * * *
      - GUID=1000
      - PUID=1000
    cpu_shares: 2048

My config.yaml

source_directories:
    - /mnt/source
repositories:
    - path: /mnt/borg-repository
one_file_system: true

#   Passphrase is set in variable $BORG_PASSPHRASE
#   encryption_passphrase: "DoNotMissToChangeYourPassphrase"
compression: lz4
archive_name_format: 'backup-{now}'

# keep_hourly: 2
keep_daily: 7
keep_weekly: 4
keep_monthly: 2
# keep_yearly: 10

checks:
    - name: repository
    - name: archives
check_last: 3

before_backup:
    - echo "Starting a backup job."
after_backup:
    - echo "Backup created."
    - apprise -t "Sauvegarde réalisée" "gotifys://got.myself.fr/Mykey?priority=low"
on_error:
    - echo "Error while creating a backup."
    - apprise -t "Echec de la sauvegarde" -b "La sauvegarde Borgmatic a échoué. Regardez la log" "gotifys://got.myself.fr/Mykey?priority=medium"

[witten]

It looks the error here is /mnt/borg-repository is not a valid repository. Check repo config.? So have you initialized/created the repository before trying to make a backup?

Thanks @witten, starting my initial backup. Seems to be running fine.
