new deploy with installer won't work

[Szparki]

This is a brand new deployment on Ubuntu 22.04 using almost the default docker compose file:

services:
  lychee_db:

The directories with the proper permissions exists on the host server:

When I access the website I get the following screen, and if I click the "Create admin account" nothing happens. I tried Firefox and Safari.

Do you have any ideas what should I try?

It's never a good sign when the CSS isn't loading - is there anything in the console or the network tab that may give a hint? When you click the button it should start a request that may have an error response.

It also may be worth changing the permissions on the config directory, though that shouldn't be causing this particular issue.

[ildyria]

@Szparki are you hosting behind reverse proxy ?

[Szparki]

@d7415 here is a paste with the logs, I can change the config permissions, what permissions do you recommend?

@ildyria it's behind nginx, here is my configuration:

server {
    if ($host = lychee.server.my) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


     listen  80;
     server_name lychee.server.my;

     location / {
             return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
     }

}

 server {
     listen          443 ssl;
     server_name     lychee.server.my;

Here is my docker compose log: https://pastebin.com/yVJtwZav

[Szparki]

Adding "- APP_FORCE_HTTPS=true" to my docker compose file under lychee/environment sections has helped! I'll post more details when I'm done.

[Szparki]

When I'm trying to upload a file I get a Upload failed. The server returned an error! message with a 401 return code.
/data/lychee/uploads is writable by lychee:lychee

/var/log/nginx/error.log within the container is empty and APP_DEBUG=true in environment is set

[ildyria]

We do not write on nginx logs, there is a log panel in Lychee.
Otherwise you can find them in storage/logs.
What does your diagnostic page is saying?

[Szparki]

This is in diagnostics:

    Diagnostics
    -----------
        Warning: Dropbox import not working. dropbox_key is empty.
        Warning: zend.assertions is disabled although Lychee is in debug mode. For easier debugging code generation for assertions should be enabled.
        Info: Latest version of PHP is 8.3
        Warning: Default timezone not properly set; you might experience strange results when importing photos without explicit EXIF timezone
        Warning: git (software) is not available.

I found the log panel within Lychee, thank you. This is what I see there when I'm trying to upload a photo:

@d7415 here is a paste with the logs, I can change the config permissions, what permissions do you recommend?

I was concerned about ownership, but it's fine within that folder, so I wouldn't worry.

I found this in docker logs

[11/Jul/2024:21:30:00 +0000] "POST /livewire/upload-file?expires=1720737000&signature=2484aa5dba52330c5eda79391dd90d1b3e039843f5fbf039d2cf0d530526d0c7 HTTP/1.1" 401 19188 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:127.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/127.0"

401 means unauthorized, but I'm already logged in when I'm trying to upload...

I have the same issue with a fresh docker install.

@Szparki did you find a solution?

[ildyria]

One of the solution is to revert to version 4 front-end temporarily (until v6 is out WIP but should fix this hopefully).
edit your .env file with LIVEWIRE_ENABLED=false

In case anyone else runs into this problem, this was the fix:

LycheeOrg/Lychee#970 (comment)

While using a password with special chars does indeed seed the database (making it appear that it worked at first glance), it will always cause the installer to be shown.
