Installing fresh hommar using docker compose
Hello, hope everyone is doing great !
i am trying to run homarr through docker compose in win 10, i tried it on two machines so far .. every time i get 500 | Internal server error... anyone knows why
i used the same exact instructions in the documentation
created a docker-compose.yml and ran docker compose up -d in the same folder ..

It requires at least some basic knowledge of Docker. apparently means "no support for docker problems from us" 😔 .
The documentation for installation is insufficient, since one needs to do more than simply "paste the following code into it." and "Then, run docker compose up -d in the same directory.". One needs to replace your_64_character_hex_string with well, a 64 character password. Your docker log offers what I understand is a randomly generated one (My docker log showed a different one, I used it and it worked)....20 Replies

Version of Homarr : i am not sure , i assume the "docker compose up -d" pulls the latest version ?
please let me know what more info i can provide
i appreciate your help in advance
The error in the log is self explanatory. Read the documentation for installation again
Also, see the bot answer, version "latest" is not a valid version for support requests.
the documentation for installation is failry simple, which i followed .. and i did follow it before and everything went ok like a month ago .. and the instructions are still the same so i dont think i did a mistake
in the installation section, it doesnt mention what version its installing, as i said i assume its the latest
also i followed the update instructions, same error still

Your docker log offers what I understand is a randomly generated one (My docker log showed a different one, I used it and it worked).ohh so i need to change things in the script , sry i am new to docker
where do i find the 64 character password in docker ?
oh nvm i found it, i will try now
In the log you posted, next to the red X it says generate a key or use the following: (...)
yup i found it
do i need to run docker compose up -d again ?
it workd !! ty so much
I understand these kind of apps support don't want to become an endless docker troubleshoot, but they need to understand that there are lots of people that have never heard of Docker and will attempt the recommended installation ony because they really really really want to use their app.
agreed
If you say "paste this code and then run this command", some peope won't actually read and try to make sense of the code and see if there's something that needs change in it.
Also, the provided "can be generated with
openssl rand -hex 32" tip, only works in Linux.any idea how to access homarr from outside local network ?
