Support thread for unraid docker template.

 

This docker image was already created by the developer. I've just created the unraid template for it using jlongster/actual-server:latest.

Thanks for adding this. Should there be an appdata folder for this? 

Is this any different than the existing actual-server container?

It should be part of the template, you can add the path yourself. I think its advised not to pre-populate that.

This "app" is created off the official docker image. The other one is like 7 months old; I noticed when I tried using a feature that wasn't available in that version.

Is there a special way to run this? I try accessing 5006 and get

If you click on the troubleshooting documentation link it'll explain it a bit. Basically you need HTTPS set up. However, you can click on the Advanced options link and you can get around but just make sure you don't have 2 tabs open at the same time.

Hi! Anybody having this issue after the latest update?

Solved! I had to clear cache and cookies.

Has anyone been able to get this container accessible through reverse proxy?

I don't know what the problem is- I've configured it in Nginx Proxy Manager the same way as many others, which all work. I'm using a wildcard certificate and configured the CNAME record the same way as my other subdomains. However, when I try to access the proxied version of Actual, I get an Error 526: Invalid SSL Certificate.

 

Anyone else run into this?

Following up to my previous post: I have tried deleting my existing wildcard certificate and creating a new one. Again, all my other subdomains are working, but I can't get this one to work. Same Error 526. I also tried using my server IP instead of the container name in the "Forward Hostname / IP" field in Nginx Proxy Manager, with no success. And yes, the ActualServer container is running in the correct Docker network.

I don't even see my app in the apps store anymore. Not sure why. I would assume though you have a problem with the internal SSL and it causing an error via proxying.

Could this template be updated to use actualbudget/actual-server instead of jlongster/actual-server? Seems the official one is updated more frequently.

I don`t know why but the documentation on how to set up HTTPS was not working for me. If anyone else is runing into this problem, here is what I did:

 

1) I changed the mounted paths in the unraid docker configuration. I had to delete the two pathes for server und user and added just one data path
<

 

2) Under advanced view I changed the WebUi URL to HTTPS

 

3) Following this documentation https://actualbudget.org/docs/config/https/ I created the selfhost.key and selfhost.crt with the given openssl command, I created the config.json with the listed lines and put all three files into the mounted /data path /mnt/user/appdata/actual-server/

 

After restarting actaul it is now working with ssl but I have to confirm the not trusted self created ssl key

Thanks @bubiman!  Going into advanced setting and changing the WebUI to https was the part I was missing! Now, if someone could explain the process of getting rid of the not trusted bit like you did, that'd be great. 

I'm on my second attempt to setup the server, the https tripped me up originally, but after trying to getting it working, then removing it a few months ago, it seems to be ok, I think.  I am running into an odd situation where it's trying to connect to the DB, but based on the bottom right, it doesn't look like the server was setup.  I can try and change/configure a server, but that link results in a similar page.
I've added the var DEBUG =  actual:config,actual-sensitive:config, but that hasn't helped determine anything, I don't see anything in the logs.

 

I have the same problem as @canuckle.
Its in a loop.

Same problem here, nothing but the initializing connection message...

You can switch to the edge version of it, then it works.

Actual should be accessed via HTTPS, but you can run it in the "unsafe" mode with HTTP.
