0.9.1 - Docker Compose persistant state & Web UI login not working

[youpko]

Using the reference docker compose stack I ran in to a problem.

I disabled the coredns in the compose stack.

Steps:

1. Confirure the ports for my deployment
2. launch stack
3. go to web UI
4. create the admin user
5. log in with user created in previous step.

And now everything works fine until I restart the stack.

Restarting the stack works fine but the web UI prompts to create a new admin user which already exists. This will of course fail and there is no option to log in.

This doesn't really make sense, CoreDNS has no impact on the rest of your application. You should be able to leave it out and it runs fine. I would check the netmaker logs with "docker logs netmaker" and make sure it runs successfully. Also, you need to specify in netmaker environment variables 'DNS_MODE=off' so that the server does not attempt to use dns.

I have spent most of yesterday trying to figure out what goes wrong. still no luck.

I have noticed that the reference stack creates 3 volumes but it only specifies 2.

• the sqldata (mounts /rqlite/file/data)
• the dnsconfig (if you use dns)
• extra volume which mounts /rqlite/file (with a long hash name)

I deployed the stack with Portainer, but I have never seen a generated volume like this.

In the logs (viewed from Portainer) didn't show any errors or other usefull information. is there some logging level I need to set to see more info in the output logs?

Set VERBOSITY = 2 (or 3) in the environment settings of netmaker. That will increase the log level. Also, please paste your compose file here (you can hide sensitive info) since that will help explain what's happening.

I am not aware of an extra volume with a long hash name...not sure where you're getting that from.
