A fix for the 500 Server Error problem when installing SnipeIT on Synology (Docker container)

[danielrosehill]

I followed the Marius Hosting instructions to install Snipe IT on a Synology NAS as a Docker container (using Portainer).

But my Pre Flight Check kept chocking on the database creation.

I figured out a very simple fix!

Following the tutorial will result in the creation of two containers:

You simply need to manually add a 'link' between the two so that the main container can talk to the DB server.

First, power down the containers.

Then just add a link from SNIPE-IT to SNIPE-IT-DB:

You can now restart the containers and you should be able to finish the installation including the database creation without running into the server error!

thank you for sharing the solution, however, no matter what I do, I link the 2 containers, but when I go to the main "Containers" screen and back into the container settings, it doesn't show the link I just created, and that happens on both containers, even though when I create the link, and click save, it shows changes saved, but still, doesn't really save
