no entry point error

[Stefanistkuhl]

so i tried to run it on a debian vm and got

steps to reproduce:

1. run the 2 mentioned commands to selfhost

ERRO[0000] error waiting for container:

so then i tried it with docker compose and the logs say this: exec /app/blogo: exec format error

when i check the container in portainer it says null.

edit: i fixed this by adding ENTRYPOINT ["app/blogo"] to the dockerfile

Hi, could you try pulling the latest version and running:

docker run \
  --name blogo \
  --env-file .env \
  --volume $(pwd)/articles:/app/articles \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --detach \
  pluja/blogo:latest

(or the latest docker-compose.yml file)

[Stefanistkuhl]

still the same outcome with exec /app/blogo: exec format error not found with docker compose and the command. Also on the container where i modifeied the image if i run the command for a new post it doenst show up on the site i ran docker exec -it blogo blogo -new my-post-slug edited the file and added new md files but none would show up.

Hi, I am unable to replicate your issue. I do exactly this:

1.Create a new directory: mkdir /tmp/blogo && cd /tmp/blogo

2. Get the .env file: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pluja/blogo/main/example.env -O .env
3. Run blogo (both with docker run and docker compose I get the same result):

docker run \
  --name blogo \
  --env-file .env \
  --volume $(pwd)/articles:/app/articles \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --detach \
  pluja/blogo:latest

4. Visit http://localhost:3000 and see blogo running.

Please, make sure you stop and remove any blogo containers, and that you pull the latest blogo image docker pull pluja/blogo:latest before testing.

edited the file and added new md files but none would show up.

Did you make sure the draft attribute is set to false? if you visit http://localhost:3000/p/the-post-slug can you see your post as a draft?

i get a diffrent error now

5:20PM INF Using path: /app
5:20PM WRN No .env file found, using default settings or environment variables.
5:20PM FTL Failed to load timezone location '"UTC"' error="unknown time zone \"UTC\""

these were my steps to reproduce:

rm -rf blogo
docker stop blogotest && docker rm blogotest
mkdir blogo
cd blogo/
docker pull pluja/blogo:latest
docker run   --name blogo   --env-file .env   --volume $(pwd)/articles:/app/articles   --publish 3001:3000   --detach   pluja/blogo:latest
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pluja/blogo/main/example.env -O .env
docker run   --name blogo   --env-file .env   --volume $(pwd)/articles:/app/articles   --publish 3001:3000   --detach   pluja/blogo:latest

I think this is related to the TIMEZONE variable in the .env file. You should change it to whatever timezone you prefer, for example Europe/Amsterdam

[Stefanistkuhl]

i still get

6:14PM INF Using path: /app
6:14PM WRN No .env file found, using default settings or environment variables.
6:14PM FTL Failed to load timezone location '"Europe/Amsterdam"' error="unknown time zone \"Europe/Vienna\""

and the same thing when Europe/Amsterdam like you listed me as an example

That's weird, can you share how are you hosting it? The command / compose file you use.

I tried running locally with the latest version and I am able to use "UTC" as value without issues:

I used the commands mentioned above but this time i edited to .env file set it to a TZ which i copied from here. I tried it on a rpi4b with pios lite and debian bullseye but tried it on a debian vm aswell with bookworm and got the same err. (I repulled the image ofc)

[pluja]

Can you share the variable definition? I think the error is because for some reason, it is trying to use "UTC" as the timezone including the " symbols:

5:20PM FTL Failed to load timezone location '"UTC"' error="unknown time zone \"UTC\""

The correct timezone should be without the "
