Problem setting up without using .env file.

[MichalisDBA]

Hello.

I try to setup the docker container with this docker compose guide
https://www.linkace.org/docs/v1/setup/setup-with-docker/advanced-configuration/
Using Docker environment variables instead of the .env file

I have removed from the docker compose the

• ./.env:/app/.env

When i run the container and press Check Requirements button all settings are checked - green except the
.env file is present and writable
and it does not let me continue the installation.

I don't use the .env file as i use the guide above without the .env file to setup the linkace container.

To get this solved, run the commands from https://www.linkace.org/docs/v1/setup/setup-with-postgresql/ to set up the database and create a user.

I will update the wiki accordingly.

We use MySQL not Postgresql. Does the same steps apply?

Yes, it's just about the commands itself. If you correctly configured the .env file you should be good to go.

Thanks i did that. The database was created and after that i go to login screen but i haven't setup a user account and now asks me for login credentials.

You have to run the command to register a user too. (docker exec -it linkace_app_1 php artisan registeruser)
