How I got it working

[deboy69]

You maybe like me and stuggled for days to get this to work. There are so many little errors in this project that don't really get fixed. 1. permissions and 2. django set to false (causes it not to load properly). I used portainer which needs stack.env instead of prod.env to run. Adjust either way you use it.

Here is what I used to get this working. I dont use celery and I dont use the included Nginx, I use NPM. Once you get it up for the first time, chmod 777 -R /static and chmod 777 -R /media. Re run the container again. ssh into the container didnt work for me so I used portainer cmd. Hope this helps

once into the container run the following.
python3manage.py sync-exercies
  python3 manage.py download-exercise-images
  python3 manage.py download-exercise-videos/
  python3 manage.py sync-ingredients

Portainer stack or you can use compose.

For NPM this goes in the advanced settings

proxy_pass http://ip address:port#
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $http_x_forwarded_proto;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_redirect off;
}

location /static/ {
alias /wger/static/;
}

location /media/ {
alias /wger/media/;
}

Can I ask what your .env file looks like? I have a very similiar setup also using NPM without celery and nginx but can't get it to work.

docker-compose.yml:

 services:
  fitness-app:
    container_name: fitness-app
    image: wger/server:latest
    depends_on:
      fitness-db:
        condition: service_healthy
      fitness-cache:
        condition: service_healthy
    env_file:
      - ./folder/.wger_env
    volumes:
      - ./folder/www:/home/wger/static
      - ./folder/media:/home/wger/media
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:8000
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      start_period: 300s
      retries: 5
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks: 
      - fitness-net
      - nginx-proxy-manager

  fitness-db:
    container_name: fitness-db
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=wger
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
      - POSTGRES_DB=NAME
    volumes:
      - ./folder/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
    healthcheck:
      test: pg_isready -U wger
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5
      start_period: 30s
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks: 
      - fitness-net

  fitness-cache:
    container_name: fitness-cache
    image: redis
    volumes:
      - ./folder/cache:/data
    healthcheck:
      test: redis-cli ping
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5
      start_period: 30s
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks: 
      - fitness-net

networks:
  nginx-proxy-manager:
    external: true
  fitness-net:
    name: fitness-net
    driver: bridge

Custom Nginx Configuration:

location / {
proxy_pass http://fitness-app:8000
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $http_x_forwarded_proto;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_redirect off;
}

location ./folder/static/ {
alias /wger/static/;
}

location ./folder/media/ {
alias /wger/media/;
}

Note that using folders directly does cause problems (I have added a warning to the docs right now), if you get a set of steps to do so that everything works, I'll gladly add it to the readme

What do you mean directly? Can you elaborate on that for clarification? Thanks

@deboy69 sure, I mean mounting folders instead of using the volumes, so - ./folder/www:/home/wger/static vs - static:/wger/static:ro. Django collects static files from the application folder and copies them to static, which are then read and served by the web server and there are probably some user IDs mismatch (this could be fixed by running some chmod commands, but then you would need to do that every time something changes). Also this is only important for the static and media folders, cache, db etc should work fine without volumes
