Installation Help

Having a heck of a time getting this up and running. I'm sure it's my compose config, but after spinning up the container, it just keeps restarting.

Documentation for the environment variables: https://recipes.musicavis.ca/docs/installation/docker/#environment-variables

services:
web:
image: reaper99/recipya:v1.2.2
container_name: recipya
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
RECIPYA_EMAIL: "my@email.com"
RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST: "smtp.gmail.com"
RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_USERNAME: "my@email.com"
RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD: "app password"
RECIPYA_DI_KEY: "KEY_1"
RECIPYA_DI_ENDPOINT: "https://{resource}.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"

This should work:

services:
  web:
    image: reaper99/recipya:nightly
    container_name: recipya
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      RECIPYA_EMAIL: "my@email.com"
      RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST: "smtp.gmail.com"
      RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_USERNAME: "my@email.com"
      RECIPYA_EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD: "app password"
      RECIPYA_DI_KEY: "KEY_1"
      RECIPYA_DI_ENDPOINT: "https://{resource}.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"
      RECIPYA_SERVER_AUTOLOGIN: false
      RECIPYA_SERVER_IS_DEMO: false
      RECIPYA_SERVER_IS_PROD: false
      RECIPYA_SERVER_NO_SIGNUPS: false
      RECIPYA_SERVER_PORT: 8078
      RECIPYA_SERVER_URL: "http://0.0.0.0"
    ports:
      - "8078:8078"
    volumes:
      - "recipya-data:/home/recipya/.config/Recipya"
    user: "${UID:-1000}:${GID:-1000}"

volumes:
  recipya-data:

That seems to work. Do I need to configure the Volumes entry at the bottom for persistence? When I put something in that field, I get the volumes must be a mapping error. Thanks

You can leave the volume as-is. The problem was caused by making the Dockerfile runnable for non-root users: e86d9fe. Since the Go app doesn't have root access anymore, it panics when creating its folders, such as ''/app' in the container, and keeps restarting.

Awesome, thank you!
