@timconsidine hmm from a fresh install I'm seeing the same thing. Some quick research didn't turn up much, wondering if @girish or @nebulon have seen this error before or know where I should start looking?

@thetomester13 I have since "hacked" the Dockerfile and think the problem is line 25 where the WORKDIR references the no-longer-present directory (hack was to remove the dashy from /app/code)

I've got it past that error but it fails healthcheck as the sed command in start.sh fails not finding /app/data/dashy/.env (from memory, don't have the log any more). Not been able to work out the solution to that.

@timconsidine thanks for that! I'm seeing the same thing you are. Looks like this app isn't as done as I thought it was... I'll go back to the drawing board on this and post back when I've made some progress!

Just saw this now, do you need any help ?

The comment at https://git.cloudron.io/thetomester13/dashy-app/-/blob/master/Dockerfile#L17 says "Move /dashy to /app/data so we can write to it, and symlink it to /app/code" . Why is that so?

@girish thanks for the offer @girish ! I think I'm alright for now. Will try and get back to this soon when I have a free few hours to play around with it. This app isn't super high on the Cloudron priority list.

If you see my comment from Feb 14th (I really should get a life sometimes : ), Dashy needs to access to edit some files on the filesystem to update the actual dashboards. It frequently updates /public/conf.yml (as well as creating backups of conf.yml files whenever a change is made), and it rewrites the entire /dist directory after a configuration change is made. This resulted in me having to put the entire /dashy directory in /app/data. Not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but it works. This is why I moved the entire folder.

@thetomester13 Ah ok. So, as a heads up, the "copy" to /app/data won't work anymore in 7.2.4 and beyond. This is because we stopped using docker volumes internally. The copying of files from a docker image's /app/data into runtime /app/data was a docker volumes feature. The fix is to do the copy in the start.sh

[thetomester13]

@girish ok, very good to know, thanks for the heads up!

@thetomester13 did you manage to resolve the copying issue ? does a custom install complete now ?

[thetomester13]

@timconsidine I have not had a chance to look at and fix this just yet. Will be sure to update this thread when I do!
