Error: app is already configured, backup then delete the .env file to re-run the setup

[Rustymage]

Ubuntu 20.04.

Running a new setup following the instructions and I get the following error:

Error: app is already configured, backup then delete the .env file to re-run the setup

Where is the .env? I haven't added one...

Here is the docker-compose.yml

I can't figure this out as the logs don't appear to help...

Thanks in advance!

Is there a reason you have uncommented the V4 section of the docker-compose?

[Rustymage]

Is there a reason you have uncommented the V4 section of the docker-compose?

Ye - because I want invoice ninja 4, not 5 (it's not working well for me).

I was following this wiki:

https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles/wiki

[Rustymage]

I have tried to install on a fresh system but get the same issue.

At this current time I'm stuck and wonder if the v4 docker install is broken.

[Rustymage]

To get this to work I had to use image: invoiceninja/invoiceninja:alpine-4.5.18 and the .env issues disappeared.

[electronick86]

I try to use the v4 and have exactly the same issue

[Rustymage]

To get this to work I had to use image: invoiceninja/invoiceninja:alpine-4.5.18 and the .env issues disappeared.

@electronick86 - did you try this?

[electronick86]

Yes, and then I have 502 Bad Gateway errors...

[Rustymage]

Yes, and then I have 502 Bad Gateway errors...

Can you share your compose file please? I can try to help.

thanks @Rustymage

I'm working behing traefik reverse proxy.

I use the same labels with IN5 with traefik and it works.

What does - ./config/nginx/in-vhost.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/in-vhost.conf:ro look like?

[electronick86]

I think I didn't do any edit in the file.

I check from the nginx container, I can "ping app" so the resolution is correct to the correct container.

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name _;

    root /var/www/app/public/;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

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

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass app:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
        fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
    }
}

[Rustymage]

The only difference I can see is the fact you don't have the following:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name ivs.xxxx.be;

and
APP_KEY=xxxx

I use an NGINX proxy so I can't comment on traefik.

Other than that, I can't really help. Good to know if the above helps though.

[electronick86]

I realise that the uid of invoiceininja is 1000 with 4.5.18 and 1500 with 4.5.30

[electronick86]

with 4.5.18, problems with the permissions due to wrong uid.

switch back to 4.5.30 and follow this : #266 (comment)

Now everything is ok. So I suspect a problem with the migrations
