Hi,

I cloned the repo with git clone and started the build with docker-compose build fredy. I get the container up and running, but when i try to login with admin/admin in the browser the container crashes with following message:

Creating network "fredy_default" with the default driver

I tried this on 3 different virtual Hosts running Ubuntu 22.10, one ARM64 machine and two x64 machines.

I had the same issue. The db directory was limited to root (unlike config, for some reason). Using sudo chown [your_user] db and restarting the container worked for me.

Oh, thanks for the help. I also had to change the permissions for the files in conf to save the settings.
