Container librebooking_prod-librebookingweb-1 exited with status code 1

[Timurling]

Logfile shows the following error:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/var/www/lb1/html': File exists

As a symptom the docker container looses its IP adresse.

Hi @Timurling,

could you please share your docker-compose.yml file (remove any visible password) as well as the complete logfile?

[colisee]

Thank you @Timurling for pointing out this issue, which I was able to reproduce.

I will investigate and let you know.

[colisee]

Hi @Timurling, I pushed a new docker image a few minutes ago. Could you try again after you refresh the image with docker compose pull ?

Please note that I found some errors and inconsistencies in your docker-compose.ymlfile:

1. You forgot to publish port 80 for service librebookingweb
2. You mis-spelled the variable LB_INSTALL_PWD
3. You are mixing traefik and nginx-proxy requirements: you should stick to the chosen proxy technology

[Timurling]

Hello @colisee,

thanks for looking at it and the improvement suggestions.
The container is starting correctly now.

Unfortunately I get a Apache 404.

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.65 (Debian) Server at mysub.domain.something Port 80

It seems not to be traefik related as I can see the reqeust in the librebooking web container logfile so it gets routet to the container:

XX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [29/Sep/2025:18:42:50 +0200] "GET /rb/ HTTP/1.1" 404 455 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/140.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks for your help.

[colisee]

Can you show me how you set up the proxy, because the file docker-compose.yml you shared does not mention any proxy details… Envoyé à partir de Outlook pour iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Actually I tried it now with mysub2.domain.somthing for the Librebooking container which gives me the following error:

[Mon Sep 29 20:25:23.104671 2025] [autoindex:error] [pid 124:tid 124] [client XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:0] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

[colisee]

Shouldn’t you access https://mysub2.domain.somthing/lb1

If I am not mistaken you set LB_PATH=lb1 in your docker-compose.yml file…

If you don’t need the lb1 path (https://mysub2.domain.somthing), then do not set LB_PATH

[Timurling]

@colisee so true! Believe me I went through this lines a thousend times and still missed it.

Thank you so much. Its working now.
