unable to start new install

[rsuinux]

hello all,
I'm trying to start a first installation of mastodon via docker.
By following the Readme, I execute the various commands:

docker compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml up -d

OK for now.
But the following fails:

docker compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml exec app .devcontainer/post-create.sh
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: ".devcontainer/post-create.sh": stat .devcontai
ner/post-create.sh: no such file or directory: unknown

post-create.sh doesn't seem to be known (which it isn't). However, I can of course edit it (vi, less, ...)

I must have missed something?

Do you have a suggestion?
Thanks.
Rémi.

This is a known issue the team is working on.

[rsuinux]

Thank you for this feedback. Is there a workaround, or should this step be avoided?

[vmstan]

#27678 is latest

[dginovker]

Seems to be a different issue, even with #28099 merged, I'm getting the same error as OP

(Simply followed the Docker steps on a fresh Arch Linux install)

I'm seeing this same issue on MacOS at the moment. Is there any update on this, or should running the development environment via Docker be avoided for now?

[juliusrajala]

Investigation revealed this is a simple case of a missing workdir -setup at least on local Docker. The post-create.sh and Procfile are run from the root of the docker container. Executing these with a -w /workspaces/mastodon before the container's tag starts the scripts correctly.

I also noticed that the docker-compose iinside the devcontainer is a bit greedy grabbing pushing all cached workspaces in the parent directory into the container. This isn't a big issue but it's unnecessary.

hi is there any solution to this problem already, i am trying to do the installation but i have the problem still.

[juliusrajala]

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28402/files you can apply this fix manually. That should help.

[alexandreumb]

Thank you it helped but, i am now getting this issue

and i already run the command git config --config --all safe.directory /workspaces/mastodon, and i am still getting that.

same issue

I have this as well

execute the command it says inside the container as follows
sudo docker-compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml exec app git config --global --add safe.directory /workspaces/mastodon
sudo docker-compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml exec app .devcontainer/post-create.sh
