Unable to run using Docker

[dev-nicolaos]

Environment

• Fedora Linux 38 (Workstation Edition)
• Docker Desktop v4.21.0

Steps to Reproduce

• Followed the docker installation instructions from the wiki
  • git pull https:/myuser/gathio.git
  • cd gathio
  • ls
  • Observe that the node_modules is not present
  • docker-compose up -d --build

Expected Behavior

Gathio starts successfully and is available on http://localhost:3000

Actual Behavior

The mongo container runs starts successfully, but the gathio container stops almost immediately after starting. Using docker desktop to inspect the logs for the gathio container reveals the following error:

Notes

It may also be helpful to add a note in the docker installation docs for those like me who don't use docker all the time that docker needs to be started before running the docker-compose ... command. If you try to run it before that you get this big cryptic error about python not being able to find some file or directory.

I can confirm this has been fixed after merging PRs by @dev-nicolaos and @dariusk, thanks both. I also had to make a small change to the Dockerfile to get around a tsc issue.

Just to budd in here… this is not working for me, I went through the exact same steps as OP and hab the same results, got cloned today so should be the latest release.

Would love to spin up an instance of this but I seem to be stuck here

Could you share some logs from Docker? Are you seeing exactly the same error message?

Sorry, on mobile atm so formatting might be off. I will fix it tomorrow if it’s to bad.
I just cloned the repo, edited the config to get the right Mongodb connection and ran docker compose
