Docker-Compose - First install fail

Pydio Cells
1

Hello!

I have a fresh Ubuntu installation with Docker and Docker Compose.

I have created a docker-compose file according to:
https://hub.docker.com/r/pydio/cells/

Have changed CELLS_EXTERNAL to “pydio:8080”.

The containers starts up.
But I get:

cells_1 | ****************************************************************************************
cells_1 | #server ells_1 | # ✗ Oops, cannot find a valid configuration for the database!
cells_1 | #
cells_1 | # A - If it is the first time you start cells, make sure to first run the install step:
cells_1 | # $> cells install
cells_1 | #
cells_1 | # B - If you have already installed, maybe the configuration file is not accessible.
cells_1 | # Make sure you are launching the process as the correct OS user.
cells_1 | # Currently running as ‘root’
cells_1 | #
cells_1 | ****************************************************************************************
cells_1 |
cells_1 | Exiting now…
pydio_cells_1 exited with code 0

I have firewall disabled. How do I run cells install? The user guide says I shall run the setup in the browser. I cannot reach http://pydio:8080/ on my local netowork (the DNS are ok here).

Please advice me!
Thanks!

Hello,

make sure to clean the volume if you attempted to install multiple times,
you can use docker system prune -a and docker volume prune .

Thanks, I did the pruning of everything as explained. Then I could start it up again.
I get the message:
…
Installation Server is starting …
cells_1 | internal URL: http://localhost:8080
cells_1 | external URL: http://pydio:8080
…

When trying to browse the Pydio from another machine (http://pydio:8080) I just get:
404 Site pydio:8080 is not served on this interface
It seems like the Pydio container are answering at least a 404 page…

Thanks for your help!

Tried to set internal URL to 0.0.0.0:8080. Then I could reach it by the external URL pydio:8080.

Installing… :slight_smile:

One goal I have is to https-idize my SMB fileserver shares. It shall be possible with Pydio.
I have read here: https://pydio.com/en/docs/v8/accessing-remote-servers-ftp-sftp-smb-webdav-dropbox

Do I understand it correct: I have to mount the SMB share in the host environemnt. How do I expose it to the container? Or is it another way?..
