docker deployment

I restarted Proxmox and now I'm getting this error in Patchmon too. I didn't change anything, it just appeared.

I then imported a backup, but nothing changed.

Then I deleted the entire VM and recreated it.

I checked that all permissions are set correctly in Docker.

I only added passwords and absolute paths to the Compose File.

Addendum

I have now added a new folder for both the front end and back end. The path goes to the /opt folder. I then set the write permission to 777.

This issue still exists with the dev install instructions

I read it, thanks

Hi,

I believe this is now sorted with the proper documentation and information around docker install:

https://github.com/9technologygroup/patchmon.net/tree/main/docker

Can you let me know if this has resolved your earlier error you were facing with Docker.

it works when I set the agent folder to 777

unfortunately the error still exist, even if I set the full path

Hello,
The directory agents is located in the parent directory, not inside the current docker directory.
Therefore, please replace this line in your Docker configuration:

./agents:/app/agents

with

../agents:/app/agents

Best regards,
