Could not open input file: artisan

[aashish108]

Hi, I can't even get started on this docker compose setup, following https://www.linkace.org/docs/v1/setup/setup-with-docker/advanced/

pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects/Docker/my-cloud-infrastructure $ sudo docker exec linkace-app php artisan key:generate
Could not open input file: artisan

Any ideas as to whats going on?

Thanks

[Kovah]

Are you sure that linkace-app as a container name is correct?
Could you do an docker exec linkace-app ls -la?

[aashish108]

I followed your docs to the letter but this is what shows up, looks like nothing got installed?

pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects/Docker/my-cloud-infrastructure $ docker exec linkace-app ls -la
total 8
drwxrwxrwx    1 1026     users           22 Mar 27 11:53 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 Mar 27 11:18 ..

drwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             8 Mar 27 11:53 storage

Note that I had issues with setting up the DB via docker, so many issues but it now looks stable as far as I can see.

[Kovah]

I will have a look

I was able to run LinkAce with the steps described in the docs, but there was one file missing that should be copied: nginx.conf.
Could you download the file, remove the LinkAce volume (docker volume rm linkace_linkace_app) and try to start it again?

[aashish108]

I actually had that :) Heres a docker-compose section:

  linkace-nginx:
    container_name: linkace-nginx
    image: nginx:stable
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - ${LINKACE_PORT}:8080
      #- "0.0.0.0:443:8443"
    depends_on:
      - linkace-app
    volumes:
      - ${LINKACE_APP}:/app
      - ./linkace-nginx.conf:/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/linkace.conf:ro
    networks:
      - linkace-net

Heres the nginx conf (linkace-nginx.conf):

server {
    root /app/public;
    server_name _;
    index index.php;
    charset utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 20M;
    port_in_redirect off;

    # Choose the connection method
    listen 0.0.0.0:8080;

    gzip_vary on;

      access_log off;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
      try_files $uri =404;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    # Error pages

    error_page 403 /index.php;

    # PHP handling
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass app:9000;

        try_files $uri /index.php;
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_keep_conn on;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
    }
}

I mean it should be fairly straightforward via docker but I am not sure where I am going wrong.

[Kovah]

What is ${LINKACE_APP}?
From the file structure you posted above, it seems that the app directory is overwritten with an empty directory and only the .env file and the storage directory are correctly set.

[aashish108]

Its an .env file var. I am not exactly sure how it could be overwritten as no one else or any other app points to that DIR:

LINKACE_ROOT_DB_PASSWORD=redacted
LINKACE_DB_USER=linkace
LINKACE_DB_PASSWORD=redacted
LINKACE_DB_NAME=linkace
LINKACE_DB_VOLUME=/mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/db
LINKACE_DB_PORT=3309
LINKACE_APP=/mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/app
LINKACE_LOGS=/mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/logs
LINKACE_REDIS_PASSWORD=redacted
LINKACE_PORT=8389

[Kovah]

If the docker-compose file works correctly, the contents of the LinkAce container should be copied to /mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/app, then those files would be made available in nginx. This is necessary as nginx needs access to some of the LinkAce files to serve them correctly.

I am not sure what the exact issue with your setup is, but it works in the standard configuration as described in the docs. Using a local directory instead of a Docker volume could be the issue. If you don't have a particular reason to have LinkAce files outside of the Docker container, I suggest switching back to the Docker volume.

[martadinata666]

LINKACE_APP=/mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/app this part resulting - /mnt/share/Cloud/linkace/app:/app the dir overriden.

[aashish108]

OK great, thanks for the help thus far :) I can actually see files in the app container and have set the key.

Now, I assume I am supposed to go to the Nginx port as defined in the docker compose file? I have set the nginx port to be 8389 and this maps onto 8080. The nginx config has listen 0.0.0.0:8080 so it matches up to where the docker is sending requests.

And the linkace .env file has APP_URL=http://192.168.0.23:8389

But http://192.168.0.23:8389 does not work. Any ideas as to what's going on now?

Redis is all setup and the linkace .env file has REDIS_HOST=linkace-redis which is the name of the redis container.

Its rather hard to see what part is not working.

[aashish108]

Apologies, the setup is way too complex. I managed to get into Nginx and see the default nginx page after playing around with nginx settings but after that trying to hook it to the linkace app fails for whatever reason. I get an Nginx 403 error,

I could not figure out why nginx is pointing the volume to /app where the documentation says its /usr/share/nginx/html

I don't think this is for me unfortunately :(

[Kovah]

Well, okay... I tested the whole setup a few hours ago, with the files from the repository. Not sure what you did, but something seems to be totally messed up.

If you find the setup too complex, why didn't you use the simple standard setup?

[aashish108]

I'll give it one last try but not on my Pi! I got an Intel Synology. That way it will be almost the same as the files provided without me messing around too much.

[martadinata666]

post all your modified compose related to linkace. nginx serve /app because the it serve thr file from the fpm image /app, same dir used for both images. Or go to simple route

[aashish108]

lol I managed to get it working by some docker-fu! Cos I am on a Pi I can't use your nginx image by Bitnami and the official nginx image is a little different. I also had to setup a separate PHP container (as something is missing otherwise) and point the nginx conf to process pho files via that PHP container. Now need to figure out how to install some PHP extensions for that image as some requirements are failing.

If I have any issues, I will ping here! Cheers.

[aashish108]

Closing this issue as its resolved. Thanks all for the help! I have another issue but will open a separate issue.
