emoncms access

[ger73]

I installed on ubuntu 20.04 server in docker emoncms and I always get the error at access (with localhost:8080) -> Forbidden, you don't have the permission to access/ on this server (Apache 2.4.38 (Debian Server). I stopped apache on the ubuntu server already, stopped the firewall, changed port settings to 8070/70 but I always get the same issue. Before I used this setup on a Synology Nas and it worked... (with an older Emoncms Docker image).

during docker-compose up I get these messages:
root@ubuntu1:/etc/emoncms-docker# docker-compose up

Any idea? Thank you very much for your help!

I get the same error , I have attempted on a second fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 with no alterations to the file with the same error. Is this a bug for 20.04?

[gabriel-alex]

I had the same issue. This message is due to the fact that Apache sees nothing in the folder /var/www/emoncms inside the web_1 image.

To solve this I tried to build locally by doing this :

$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms-docker
$ cd emoncms-docker
$ docker-compose up

However, it did not work. So I have done it manually by connecting myself to the web_1 image and doing the git requests.

$ docker ps
$ docker exec -it [id_of_the_web_container] bash
$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms.git /var/www/emoncms
$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/dashboard.git /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard
$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/graph.git /var/www/emoncms/Modules/graph
$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/app.git /var/www/emoncms/Modules/app
$ git clone https://github.com/emoncms/device.git /var/wwww/emoncms/Modules/device

Thanks gabriel-alex, that got me a step further. After doing the git requests, I received an error about the settings file, So I copied the settings.php file from the example. That got me a step further. Then I received an error about the redis server. So I disabled the server. And now I am receiving an error about database connection error. I have tried several different passwords, but no luck. This is installed on a Vm running PhotonOS which appears to be rpm based. Not sure if that is the issue or where to go from here. Other docker images have worked without issue.

[Paulf007]

Is there a previous docker version that we could use to test / compare?

[tocklime]

I had this issue - it's because the docker-compose.override.yml mounts a volume over /var/www/emoncms, so it appears empty. I've worked around it by commenting out the volume block in docker-compose.override.yml for now (still just experimenting)
