On running the script,

[philomath@cosmos addons-server]$ sudo ./scripts/start-docker.sh
useradd: UID 1000 is not unique
id: ‘olympia’: no such user
Starting with user: 'olympia' uid: 
su: user olympia does not exist

What did you expect to happen?

Run the command with success.

Anything else we should know?

I guess, the error is related to user permission somehow, but I am not sure. If it is, we might need to update the docs as well.

I think that you don't run docker container. (Check docker state docker ps) You should execute command docker-compose up -d to run docker container.

@miphilomath as @junngo said, did you execute docker-compose up -d first? In any case you should not try to run ./scripts/start-docker.sh manually, it's an entry point for the docker container, not something you should run yourself.

[miphilomath]

Yes, I did. I followed all the steps as instructed here.

I am encountering the same problem trying to run the server locally on windows. I thought that it was a windows problem. I can access the website at olympia.test but pretty much anything I do generates an error. I haven't had the time to try it on linux yet.

UPDATE: I was able to get it working in Ubuntu. Have you tried running with sudo? sudo make initialize_docker

Hello, I am running the command docker-compose up -d, but still I am getting this error. Can somebody help me fix this error? Thank you

[Mohammadnim123]

Just docker-compose restart

[Ssousuke]

Just docker-compose restart

Thanks

If it can help, I had the same issue because my containers were not up (I thought they were, but they were not actually). So, as other people already said, running this command solved it: docker-compose up -d
