find: /var/lib/ghost/content/themes/source: No such file or directory

The ghost container's status remains "Restarting" after docker-compose up -d When I checked the log, I saw the following:

2023-10-22 02:07:10 find: /var/lib/ghost/content/themes/source: No such file or directory
2023-10-22 02:07:10 find: /var/lib/ghost/content/themes/casper: No such file or directory

How can I solve this?

Can you share your docker compose file? I ran the docker-compose from the readme and didn't get any errors.

@LaurentGoderre Thanks for your reply. Here is my docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
    blog:
        image: ghost:5
        restart: always
        ports:
            - 5004:2368
        environment:
            database__client: ${GHOST_DB_CLIENT}
            database__connection__host: ${GHOST_DB_HOST}
            database__connection__user: ${MYSQL_USER}
            database__connection__password: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
            database__connection__database: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}
            url: ${GHOST_URL}
        volumes:
            - .content:/var/lib/ghost/content
    db:
        image: mysql:8
        restart: always
        ports:
            - 5005:3306
        environment:
            MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
            MYSQL_USER: ${MYSQL_USER}
            MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
            MYSQL_DATABASE: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}
        volumes:
            - .db:/var/lib/mysql

Do you have a themes folder in your host content folder?

[ipari]

There is nothing in content folder

[LaurentGoderre]

Btw, these lines:

database__client: ${GHOST_DB_CLIENT}
database__connection__host: ${GHOST_DB_HOST}

Should be:

database__client: mysql
database__connection__host: db

[LaurentGoderre]

The issue is that when the content folder doesn't have themes, it tries to copy some of the base content and symlink from the current theme.

If you want to volume mount but have nothing to start with you can run this before you start your compose

docker cp $(docker create --name temp-copy ghost:5)://var/lib/ghost/current/content/. .content/ && docker rm temp-copy

OMG it finally works! Thank you 🤩🤩
