Local setup using no env file

[ServerGeek82]

Followed setup located here:
https://www.linkace.org/docs/v1/setup/setup-with-docker/advanced-configuration/

Followed steps in this section on that page:
"Using Docker environment variables instead of the .env file"
Step1: Removed volume mount of file
Step2: Added env variables to compose file
Step3:
Step3a: Done
Step3b: Done
Step3c: Done
Step4: Using MariaDB

Initial launch successful, however

Is there a env variable to let the app know that we are choosing this option and skip check for file?

[ServerGeek82]

Posting this as i didn't see any work around already posted. I put a dummy .env file as a mount with BLANKFILE inside the file. Allowed me to finish setup.

I was wondering the same: I'm running this on Kubernetes and it feels weird to mount configuration files.

Does this really work?! :)

Anyway I'm loving this app!

[ServerGeek82]

Container is still up and running. So workaround works. Shall see in the next server reboot.

I can confirm, you have to mount a writable .env file just for initial checks and setup. Afterwards app works without any file mounted.
That .env can be just a BLANKFILE.

[Drallas]

I need something like this:

• /var/lib/docker/volumes/linkace_linkace_env/_data/.env:/app/.env

But seems a bit odd, must be better ways to setup the app.

[black-backdoor]

Did you find a way?

If I mount a blank file to the .env path, it gives me an internal server error

Note:
the .env file is not in the same folder as the docker-compose.yml

So here is my Docker compose file

services:
  linkace-db:
    image: mariadb:10.7
    container_name: linkace-db
    command: mysqld --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_bin
    environment:
      PGID: 1000
      PUID: 1000

      UMASK_SET: 002
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ChangeThisToASecurePassword!
      MYSQL_USER: linkace
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: ChangeThisToASecurePassword!
      MYSQL_DATABASE: linkace
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=false"
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3308:3306"
    volumes:
      - /home/docker/nonVolumes/linkace-db:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - linkace-net

  linkace-app:
    image: linkace/linkace:simple
    container_name: linkace-app
    depends_on:
      - linkace-db
    environment:
      PGID: 1000
      PUID: 1000
      TZ: "America/Phoenix"
      UMASK_SET: 002
      APP_KEY: base64:UpNqL+sGLU6ckAzczF3QcFsrQzv/jHFypRp8fGnNX6s=

      DB_CONNECTION: mysql
      DB_HOST: linkace-db
      DB_PORT: 3308
      DB_DATABASE: linkace
      DB_USERNAME: linkace
      DB_PASSWORD: ChangeThisToASecurePassword!
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=false"
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8187:80"
    volumes:

    networks:
      - linkace-net

networks:
  linkace-net:

[black-backdoor]

So here is my Docker compose file

`--- services: linkace-db: image: mariadb:10.7 container_name: linkace-db command: mysqld --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_bin environment: PGID: 1000 PUID: 1000 TZ: "America/Phoenix" UMASK_SET: 002 MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ChangeThisToASecurePassword!

thanks

next time use ``` to create a multiline code ;)

[ServerGeek82]

updated thank you. its still early
