Fava in Docker Image - /static/gen CSS and JS not found #1

Closed shmcgrath closed 7 years ago

shmcgrath commented 7 years ago

Hey!

Not really sure if this is the right place for this, but figured I'd reach out to you.

I am using your Dockerfile to make a container for Fava. The end result is a webhost that is missing the CSS and JS from /static/gen. Any tips for me to make that work? I am 99% sure I am doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.

I built the Dockerfile exactly as it is on the repo and called it "fava."

To run the container, I ran the following docker run:

sudo docker run -d --name="fava" --net=host -v /home/shmcg/Dropbox/Beancount/:/beancount -e BEANCOUNT_INPUT_FILE="beancount/shm.beancount" fava

I have the host up at port 5000. I can see the shm.beancount file. But all that is there are the numbers. I attached an image below.

I have remade the container a couple of times. Is my mount point the problem? What is the best way to set up the variable for BEANCOUNT_INPUT_FILE?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

What my Chrome with dev tools looks like.

It's likely something changed in fava's Makefile and the minimized JS file are not installed at the right location. I'll take a look today and try to fix that. Thanks for trying out the Dockerfile :-)

Hmm, I'm not sure what went wrong. I just updated the image at hub.docker.com with exactly the same Dockerfile, and my fava instance works just fine.

Awesome. Thanks for checking into it. I will go from the image at hub.docker.com and see if that fixes things!

Update: it did not. Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate the help. I will try and figure out where I am going wrong. Maybe my mount directory?

I may have found the issue. In line 17 of the dockerfile hub.docker.com and in this repo, it states: 

        && make -C fava clean \

The most recent one on the fava repo states:

        && make -C fava mostlyclean \

It looks like that change was made so that "app.js" still exists. Changing that line fixed my issue! Thank you again for all of the help!

Hmm, looks like the Dockerfile in the official repo is more up-to-date. I'd suggest you to use that file instead.
