Container wont start on NAS UGREEN and Docker

[knoxitus]

I try to run the image on my NAS which is a UGREEN DXP2800 with 8GB RAM and running the latest firmware.

In the container log I only see

Setting UOS_SERVER_VERSION to 5.0.6
Setting FIRMWARE_PLATFORM to linux-x64
Setting UOS_SYSTEM_IP to 192.168.11.11

and nothing more happens.
For the docker-compose I used the one from your repo.

Any idea what may be wrong or I can try?

What port are you using for the webui? Note that it's changed from standalone network app, should be https://<IP>:11443
Otherwise please exec into the container and run systemctl --type=service list-units and post the output.

[knoxitus]

The web UI port should not be the issue since I'm using the docker-compose from main.

Looking at the processes, the PostgreSQL process has failed starting up:

[bmartino1]

try the pull request updated the copose file found here:
https://github.com/bmartino1/unifi-os-server/blob/main/docker-compose.yaml

its adds 2 ports 10001 and 1900 and force set the unprivileged image.
image: ghcr.io/lemker/unifi-os-server:v1.0.0

as this is what unraid xml builds to make a Docker run line to start and use this image

Maybe permissions issue? See here.

[knoxitus]

thanks @lemker, that nailed it.

After digging more into the error with journalctl -xeu postgresql-cluster@14-main.service there was a permission error logged.

After remove the folders, recreate them, checked for the postgresql user details in the container
root@d3ad03b8db74:/# id postgresuid=10100(postgres) gid=104(postgres) groups=104(postgres),103(ssl-cert)

and assign the proper owner on the NAS host for the PostgreSQL folders

sudo chown 10100:104 /<path-to-share>/data/postgresql
sudo chown 10100:104 /<path-to-share>r/data/postgresql/14
sudo chown 10100:104 /<path-to-share>/data/postgresql/14/main
sudo chown 10100:104 /<path-to-share>/data/postgresql/14/main/data

it starts now and I can access the Web UI
