How to start docker with default docker-compose.yml from README.md without issues.

[kopax]

Within the container, I have:

root@0dfdc7f74c83:/config# ls -altr
total 12
-rwxrwxrwx 1 abc  users  183 Sep 21 23:59 config.yml
drwxrwxrwx 2 abc  users 4096 Sep 21 23:59 .

But it crash on startup with:

This is /config/config.yaml:

web_server: yes

schedules:
  - tasks: '*'
    interval:
      minutes: 1

tasks:
  test task:
    rss: https://rss.example.com/myfeed.rss
    series:
      - My Favorite Show

I expected it to start without errors.

This is the command used to start the container with the following command:

docker \
  -e FLEXGET_LOG_LEVEL=debug \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
   -e TORRENT_PLUGIN=transmission \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -e WEB_PASSWD=<secret> \
  -v /srv/transmission/downloads:/downloads:rw \
  -v /srv/flexget/config:/config:rw \
   --net bridge \
  -p 31770:5050/tcp \
  --name \
  cpoppema/docker-flexget:latest

Also, in the UI, it says to create the .password-lock using flexget cli:

The Web UI is protected by a login, you need to either set the WEB_PASSWD environment variable or setup a user after starting this docker:

Connect with the running docker:

docker exec -it flexget bash

If your configuration file is named "config.yml" you can setup a password like this:

flexget -c /config/config.yml web passwd <some_password>

I have tried to execute this within the running cpoppema/docker-flexget:latest container and:

bash: flexget: command not found

Hello @kopax. I ran the following to test out the issues you're pointing out.

 $    docker run --rm \
  -e FLEXGET_LOG_LEVEL=debug \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TORRENT_PLUGIN=transmission \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -e WEB_PASSWD=itsa123secret \
  -v /local/sandbox/docker-flexget/flexget-clean/:/config:rw \
  --net bridge \
  -p 31770:5050/tcp \
  --name=flexget \
  cpoppema/docker-flexget:latest

/root/.flexget is a symlink to /config, can you confirm the filesystem permissions for /srv/flexget/config ?

That however should not impact your other problem of setting the password and the error "command not found."

 $    docker exec -it flexget bash
root@13fad8dbf8d5:/# flexget -c /config/config.yml web passwd itsa456secret
There is a FlexGet process already running for this config, sending execution there.
Updated password

What do you see when you run the following ?

 $    docker exec -it flexget find / -name \*flexget\* | sort
/config/flexget.log
