Docker Issues

UI is not reachable

Check the container first:

docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail=200 printbuddy

Then verify the configured port:

ss -ltnp | grep 8000 || true

Wrong or stale image

Confirm the compose image is current:

image: docker.io/vmhomelabde/printbuddy:latest

Then update:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d --force-recreate

Docker Desktop networking

Docker Desktop on macOS/Windows does not support Linux-style network_mode: host. Comment out network_mode: host and enable the ports: section in the compose file.

Permission problems

The container normalizes /app/data and /app/logs ownership using PUID and PGID.

Check your host user IDs:

id -u
id -g

Set matching values in the compose environment if needed.
