bug: no /app/config.yaml file

[ChuxiJ]

when docker-compose up in the zep project
it outputs

level=fatal msg="Error configuring Zep: open /app/config.yaml: no such file or directory"

where is the /app/config.yaml file ?

[danielchalef]

@ChuxiJ The config.yaml file is mounted by docker from the current working directory. Please ensure that you're in the cloned repo directory to ensure docker is able to access the file.

zep/docker-compose.yaml

Line 68 in b3287e0

file: ./config.yaml

I have the same issue. I've replaced:

    configs:
      - source: config
        target: /app/config.yaml

with

    volumes:
      - ./config.yaml:/app/config.yaml

And now it works.

I have tried your way, i works!
Thank you very much!

@Sitin thanks for helping @ChuxiJ . Would either of you mind sharing what version of docker you're using? Thanks

[Sitin]

@danielchalef, you would be laughing but I am using Podman and podman-compose on Ubuntu which is running inside Parallels on Apple Silicone (I know, that's weird but I have my reasons). Anyway, my setup is not representative since Podman in such configuration have issues with some types of mounts "by design". Still, replacing configs mounting with the plain old volumes directive works for me. So, you probably right to close this issue.

[danielchalef]

@Sitin That's useful to know! Thanks for clarifying.

I know this issue is closd, but I am having a similar problem (Error configuring Zep: open /app/config.yaml: no such file or directory) when trying to deploy on Railway and GCP. The one-click deploy on render also just times out.

[danielchalef]

@alikibao was the Render timeout with Zep's standard install or did you enable the experimental open source embedding?

How are you deploying on GCP?

[alikibao]

Thanks for the response... I'm very low-level, technically speaking. I did eventually get it to work on Render after several failed attempts. All the attempts were made by simply pressing the deploy to render button from the repo.

I am almost certain that my GCP attempts were way off base so I shall leave that for now. But if you have any advice on how best to approach GCP i'd appreciate that.

I had the exact same issues and the ^^ fix solved it for me.. I'm using Docker version 20.10.23, build 7155243

Yes - Zep requires docker compose's Configs top-level element support available in more modern Docker implementations. We may change this since it looks like some Linux distributions are still shipping Docker 20.x.

[danielchalef]

Support for older versions of docker was merged in #120

@danielchalef, thanks a lot!
