See subject line. Using crazymax’s flarum Docker image on Scale 25.04.0. At this point I cannot access the portal UI. Here’s what I have so far:
What am I doing wrong please?
Here’s also crazymax’s flarum Github.
What am I doing wrong please?
Not going to get an eyestrain headache trying to figure out the screenshots. Do the custom app from YAML, and the provided Compose file:
I prefer Compose via Dockge, but this ought to work as well.
Just click on the screenshots, and they will expand. Otherwise, I do not know how to “do a custom app from YAML,” I’m afraid. Where do I find this YAML file?
It’s the file dan posted and next to the custom app option click on the 3 dots to open the window where you have to paste it to.
Edit: you obviously have to edit the storage paths
Thanks, but that hardly clears my confusion: What paths are you talking about? The ones in the YAML file? I do, indeed, see a few paths in the YAML file (such as those on the env_file and volumes lines), though I haven’t the faintest idea as to what they refer to. To what are these paths supposed to point? Paths in the container (the one that doesn’t yet exist)? Or are they paths on the local system where the UI is opened? How would I know what values they should have?
Apologies, but i am completely lost.
Maybe this makes it clearer
Replace “/mnt/Poolname/datasetname” with the dataset you want to mount inside the container.
The part before the : is the path on the host, the one after the path inside the container.

Alright, here below is what I could come up with. Looks like the containers are, indeed, running, though I still can’t access the UI. Again what am I doing wrong please?

x-portals:

Are you using port 8000, or 15000? You seem to have set the latter for some reason for the “Web UI” button, but the stack appears to be listening on the former.
Yeah, the WebUI button wasn’t showing up, so I deleted the x-portals section completely. So please ignore that. Anyway, I am still not able to access the UI.
And here’s what the flarum log shows:
