WAS in portainer does not start; missing `static/admin`

[SamJongenelen]

Hey, I haven't used the WAS in a while, but when I tried to this morning, I noticed the last main version seems to have an issue finding /static/admin content. There is nothing in the static dir currently.

Error in container:

My portainer dockerfile:

version: '3'

services:
  was:
    image: ghcr.io/toverainc/willow-application-server:main
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - was-storage:/app/storage

    ports:
    - 8501:8501
    - 8502:8502
volumes:
  was-storage:

update: I am using OMV as host - the container is able to start from commandline docker run --detach --name=willow-application-server --pull=always --network=host --restart=unless-stopped --volume=was-storage:/app/storage ghcr.io/toverainc/willow-application-server

So now I am a bit lost, what am I doing wrong in portainer file?

You would want to remove :main from the image line in your docker file. The fully built container, including UI, comes from :latest. If you remove :main the image defaults to latest. 🙂 If you put :main it just grabs the WAS backend code without pulling in the UI code, which is why your static directory is empty.
