Exercise images are not loaded and exercise not visible from mobile

[quietwalker-libre]

Hello people.

Today I tried to set up wger but there is something strange: when i manually trigger the exercise sync and the image download for them I don't see any image in the media volume, even if the download doesn't report any error:

root@HomeServer:/mnt/user/appdata/wger# docker exec -it wger-web-1 python3 manage.py download-exercise-images

this also cause the impossibility to see the exercise images from "Exercises" page. If this could be useful, this is my docker compose file: https://pastebin.com/Wpdw2vVP and this is the prod.env content: https://pastebin.com/R5dZ0tuN

another problem, maybe related to the one described above, is that the static volume is empty and the server log reports:

0 static files copied to '/home/wger/static', 11786 unmodified.

the full log could be found at: https://pastebin.com/3NeeAwzR

anyway continuing my tests I created a new workout and a workout schedule but when I connect from the app I cannot see it. In addition I saw that if I try to create a new workout from mobile app directly, the exercises are not found and the autocomplete doesn't work as it does in the web UI. This is the same as reported here: https://github.com/wger-project/docker/issues/105

What's wrong here? I don't see anything obvious here so please could you point me in the right direction?

I guess the following log message it's not a problem if it appear after a container restart, because I guess it copy files only the first time it start:

0 static files copied to '/home/wger/static', 11786 unmodified.

Indeed in my static volume I have files. The strange thing it that in the docker-compose the web service doesn't mount the media folder and I'm not sure it's correct. If it doesn't mount the media volume, where the downloaded images are stored instead?

I also did another test mapping the volumes to a local path but nothing changed, I still have the same issue with images. For reference this is the docker-compose I used, where I also added to the "web" service container the media volume (even if it has not caused any positive impact): https://pastebin.com/gnUPftnp

It doesn't looks like a permission problem anyway. This is a screenshot of what I see when I analyze the images transferred

I had the same issue when I tired to use the supplied docker-compse.yml file. To get things working I tried a similar fix to you, namely adding the media mount to the web: service but instead of making them Bind mounts I kept the Volume mounts. I think your issue might be that you are mounting "media" for the web: service at "/wger/media", but web: needs it to be mounted at "/home/wger/media". Note however, that nginx: expects it to be mounted at "/wger/media" and it should be Read Only (But it will probably still work if it's RW).

web: volumes:

• static:/home/wger/static
• media:/home/wger/media

nginx: volumes:

• ./config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
• static:/wger/static:ro
• media:/wger/media:ro

I hope this helps.

thanks so much for your suggestion @Coyote21 Unfortunately it looks likes there is something else which still doesn't make it works as expected. This is how my compose file looks now with your suggested changes: https://pastebin.com/fzHEcH4m

and this is what it looks like from a browser perspective:
