Why am I receiving the errors below when bringing up a new container with an existing install? On a side note, cells has been the most frustrating install/configuration using docker of the numerous service applications using docker that I have installed. I do not know if it is because of the design or the testing but I’ve encountered many configuration issues. The following is the relevant part of the compose file: services: cells: container\_name: pydio image: pydio/cells:2.0.0 restart: on-failure:5 volumes: - ./data:/var/cells/data - ./cellsdir:/var/cells - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro - ./ssl/server.pem:/root/ssl/ssl.cert - ./ssl/server.key:/root/ssl/ssl.key networks: - back environment: - CELLS\_BIND=${URL}:${PORT} - CELLS\_EXTERNAL=${URL}:${PORT} - CELLS\_NO\_SSL=0 - CELLS\_SSL\_CERT\_FILE=/root/ssl/ssl.cert - CELLS\_SSL\_KEY\_FILE=/root/ssl/ssl.key ports: - “${PORT}:${PORT}” The following are the errors: pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:06.864Z INFO pydio.gateway.proxy Restart done pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:09.646Z ERROR Error while applying modifiers to registry! {“error”: “{"id":"go.micro.client","code":500,"detail":"none available","status":"Internal Server Error"}”} pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:09.749Z ERROR Frontend Service Not Detected pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:14.127Z ERROR Error while applying modifiers to registry! {“error”: “{"id":"go.micro.client","code":500,"detail":"none available","status":"Internal Server Error"}”} pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:14.231Z ERROR Frontend Service Not Detected pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:16.710Z ERROR Error while applying modifiers to registry! {“error”: “{"id":"go.micro.client","code":500,"detail":"none available","status":"Internal Server Error"}”} pydio | 2019-12-06T23:18:16.813Z ERROR Frontend Service Not Detected ---

The services do not come up. The errors above are exhibited. Has the container been tested under the following conditions? 1. Existing install, existing data, new database 2. New install, existing data, existing database 3. Existing install, existing data, existing database For existing installs, the application should not reinstall the database, if it exists or overwrite data. For a new install with existing data and database, the application should only reinstall the require app files. Please advise. ---

Please advise. If the container has not been tested under at least the above conditions, users could face data loss and/or incur substantial difficulty getting the application to a known good state. ---

Hello @alpha23, The container install checks if you already have a `pydio.json` file (which contains the configuration of the db, datasource, …) > Therefore it is best if you have a volume for the config and data, then when you run a new container it should use the same configuration file (pydio.json) and connect to the database where your files are installed. (The container should act as just a simple Cells binary) and everything else should be a volume. ---

Per my initial post, I do have a volume for config and data. See my compose config above which includes: volumes: - ./data:/var/cells/data - ./cellsdir:/var/cells While the code may appear check the conditions you mentioned, has the following been tested? 1. Existing install, existing data, new database 2. New install, existing data, existing database 3. Existing install, existing data, existing database Please advise. The same error in the original post is exhibited when instantiated new services with existing volumes. ---

@alpha23, did you finaly manage to sort it out ? I’m facing exactly the same issue when I want to recompose my docker and use the same volumes. I tried 1, 2 and 3 options and in each situation I don’t manage to start Cells. The only way for me is to delete all data, all working dir and the db, then run docker-compose up -d again and restart all configuration from scratch. It could not be a problem but if this is the process, I’d like to understand how I can backup and restore my data if I need to rebuild one of my containers… ---

Hello, FYI, the “configuration” of the app is stored **both** in the config fies **and** in the database. So, if you restore an existing installation with a fresh image, you have to insure: - you mount the existing _configuration_ volume (CELLS\_WORKING\_DIR, that is by default at `/var/cells` ) in the container - you have a DB running “at the same location” (that is connection and database info have not changed) =\> this info is stored in the `/var/cells/pydio.json` and used by Cells to find the DB at starting time. Thus said, about your use cases: 1. Existing install, existing data, new database =\> wont work, cf above, you will get an error at launch time, the system thinks then that it has lost the DB 2. New install, existing data, existing database =\> this can be recovered but it is not straight forward and cant be easily automated in your docker compose. TL;DR it is not the idea (cf above) 3. Existing install, existing data, existing database =\> this works and has been tested many times. You might give more details about your config and the error you get so that someone might help you on this specific situation. Hope this helps. ---

Hi @bsinou, Thanks for your answer. I agree with the 2 first use case so lets concentrate on the last one (Existing install, existing data, existing database). Let me explain my steps: 1/ Fresh install from docker-compose with named volumes I have 3 containers : 1 for cell, 1 for mariaDB, 1 for PHPmyadmin 2/ First access to cells ([https://localhost](https://localhost)) with initial configuration. Here, everything works. I can stop and restart all my dockers and they all restart correctly. Now I try to recover from my data so next steps are: 3/ I do a docker-compose down which removes all containers but not my named volume. I verified that all data are still there. 4/ do a docker-compose up -d (I didn’t change anything neither in the docker-compose file, nor in the folders) This restarts and rebuild all containers but I can’t access Pydio Cells. docker logs _pydio\_cells\_1_ it shows the error (subject of this thread). And I never managed to correct that. However, I manage to recover my containers by following the backup/restore procedure which needs some more steps. I descibe them if some people have the same issue, it could help: Before step 3, do a docker-compose stop then do a backup of each named volume (ie : cp -p \* ./backup/) Afterward, you can do steps 3 and 4, but you need 1 more step, you need to restore volumes at initial place replacing the once that have been created with the new install… (mv ./backup/ \* .) Then restart your containers (docker-compose restart) and this time, I manage to get everything working… ---

I had a look at your first docker compose, First question, could you try to use the latest stable version: instead of: `image: pydio/cells:2.0.0` use: `image: pydio/cells:2.1.6` the 2.0.0 is exactly one year old today (happy birthday 🙂 ) but also much too old : we have solved many issues this year and I really cannot help you if you decide to stay there. ---

OK we might have a suspect here: see [https://pydio.com/en/docs/cells/v2/cells-installation](https://pydio.com/en/docs/cells/v2/cells-installation) We support Maria DB 10.3 and above. Can you update this image or not ? or use mysql 5.7, with something like that: ```auto mysql: image: mysql:5.7 restart: always environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: P@ssw0rd MYSQL_DATABASE: cells MYSQL_USER: pydio MYSQL_PASSWORD: pydio volumes: - "./mysqldir:/var/lib/mysql" command: [ mysqld, --character-set-server=utf8mb4, --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci, ] ``` ---

Good catch ! I was working on an old MariaDB docker image (reminder for myself : don’t use latest tag !) So I change my docker-compose to use MariaDB:10.5.7 (latest at the time writing), run a docker-compose up -d which rebuild my DB. I tested that Cells was still working: YES. Then I deleted my containers with docker-compose down and then did a last docker-compose up -d (note : previously, this steps was failing…) and this time everything works ! Thank you very much @bsinou. ---
