I have an error when I tried to install this container:

It continually loops. It looks like an PNPM error but I cant resolve the issue. Anyone else have the same problem?

I was getting the same error and I managed to get it working with snayff's guide. I think the issue for me was the application secret. I quoted their guide and updated it with what ended up working for me:

Setup

Replace bracketed variables with your actual values and be sure to remove the brackets as well.

1. Install Redis (https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/)

   1. Leave all default

2. Install Postgres18 (https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/)

   1. POSTGRES_PASSWORD : [your_password]

   2. POSTGRES_USER : [your_user]

   3. POSTGRES_DB : docmost

   4. Other values left as default.

3. Install Docmost

   1. Update the Storage Path to use the correct path: /mnt/user/appdata/docmost/

      1. I created the docmost directory manually first since I'm not sure how the container handles missing directories.

   2. Application URL : [server IP]:[port]

      1. I have NGINX Proxy running so I used a https URL. This will come in handy for the editor since it will need web sockets to work properly.

   3. Application Secret : [32 key secret]

      1. I used the OpenSSL command to get it generated directly in the main Unraid console: openssl rand -hex 32

   4. Database URL : postgresql://[your_postgres_user]:[your_postgres_pw]@[your_postgres_IP]:[your_postgres_port]/docmost

   5. Redis URL : redis://[your_redis_ip]:[your_redis_port]

   6. If you have to change your WebUI port due to a conflict, you need to also change it to match in the advanced settings URL in the top section: https://[IP]:[PORT:300#]
