Self-Hosting Kong Container error fix : kong.yml is a directory.

[RumosZin]

Situation

I'm trying to get docker images pulled from my MacBook and send them to a remote server.
Since the remote server is not connected to Wi-Fi, I use the method of connecting to the scp connection and transmitting pulled docker images.

Configuration

Local (Images pull) : Apple intel chip
Remote Server (received Images) : Rocky Linux

How to fix the error

[1] (Important) Pull images that fits the OS/CPU of the remote server

docker pull supabase/studio:20240415-304bec8 --platform=linux/amd64
docker pull kong:2.8.1 --platform=linux/amd64
docker pull postgrest/postgrest:v12.0.1 --platform=linux/amd64
docker pull supabase/storage-api:v1.0.10 --platform=linux/amd64
docker pull supabase/postgres-meta:v0.80.0 --platform=linux/amd64
docker pull supabase/postgres:15.1.0.147 --platform=linux/amd64

If you do not set the platform here for the remote server, the kong.yml file is not created!! When you docker compose up -d --build, a directory named kong.yml is created!!

You'll see this error messages!!

[2] (Optional) Compress images

docker save supabase/studio:20240415-304bec8 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/supabase-studio:20240415-304bec8.tar.gz
docker save kong:2.8.1 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/kong:2.8.1.tar.gz
docker save postgrest/postgrest:v12.0.1 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/postgrest-postgrest:v12.0.1.tar.gz
docker save supabase/storage-api:v1.0.10 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/supabase-storage-api:v1.0.10.tar.gz
docker save supabase/postgres-meta:v0.80.0 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/supabase-postgres-meta.tar.gz
docker save supabase/postgres:15.1.0.147 | gzip > ./supabase/deploy/images/supabase-postgres:15.1.1.42.tar.gz

[3] Send compressed Images && .env && docker-compose.yml

scp -r ./supabase/deploy dev_rocky:~/my_project/supabase/
scp ./supabase/.env dev_rocky:~/my_project/supabase
scp ./supabase/docker-compose.yml dev_rocky:~/my_project/supabase

[4] Access the remote server, and up received Images

docker compose up -d --build
