Development Docker Container Does Not Start Correctly

[GarnetKoebel]

OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS or Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
Docker Compose Version: docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown
Docker Version: Docker version 28.3.3, build 980b856

To Reproduce: Follow github instructions for setting up local development while using either OS's above. On first docker-compose up seemingly after establishing contact with the local DB several instances of the below message will be printed finally ending with a exit with code 1.

app-1         |                                                                                
app-1         |   There is no existing directory at "/app/storage/logs" and it could not be c  
app-1         |   reated: Permission denied                                                    
app-1         |                                                                                
app-1         | 
app-1 exited with code 1

Hello!

I've also encountered the same issue, running cachyOS, and it looks like it was a file permissions issue (as these tend to be).

The error "mysqladmin: connect to server at 'db' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'app'@'172.18.0.4' (using password: NO)'" is completely expected, as the docker-entrypoint.sh script tries to ping the DB host to make sure it is alive before attempting a connection.

As for the other error, if you run ls -l in the application container, you will probably find that it returns a result that looks like this:

I did not have this problem when using Docker for Windows. A temporary work around is to change the mounting point in the docker-compos.yaml file from ./:/app to './:/mnt/app, so that the app can start in peace, while also allowing you to access files from the host. The disadvantage, however, is that you would have to copy files from /mnt/appto/app` inside the container whenever you make changes.

Hope this helps!
