You don’t have the api exposed to the outside. The browser you’re using to access the frontend needs to be able to access it. Take a look at the docs for examples of this with or without a reverse proxy.

wicadmin · 20 October 2021 16:21

Because the browser you’ll use to access the Vikunja frontend uses that url to make the requests, it has to be able to reach that ip + port from the outside.

Putting everything in a private network won’t work.

Not sure I understand what this means? The browser is able to hit the application internally and render the login page, what does “accessing from outside” have to do with it?

kolaente · 20 October 2021 18:12

Your browser needs to be able to reach the api at http://192.168.1.89:3456/api/v1. With the compose config you sent that won’t work because you don’t have the port of the api exposed to outside of the docker network.

The frontend communicates with the api through the browser, not internally.

wicadmin · 20 October 2021 22:05

Hi @kolaente
OK, got it. I screw up the previous docker-compose it seems. Here is the updated one but I still don’t see the register button:

version: '3'

services:
  api:
    image: vikunja/api
    environment:
      VIKUNJA_REDIS_ENABLED: 1
      VIKUNJA_REDIS_HOST: 'redis:6379'

      VIKUNJA_CACHE_TYPE: redis
    volumes:
      - ./files:/app/vikunja/files
    depends_on:
      - redis
    ports:
      - 3456:3456
    restart: unless-stopped

    env_file:

When I go to: http://192.168.1.89:3456/api/v1, I get this:

wicadmin · 20 October 2021 22:14

I’ve added in the nginx proxy but same situation:

kolaente · 21 October 2021 05:38

Does it work if you change the URL on the login screen manually, to the one you configured?

wicadmin · 21 October 2021 20:58

Yes, sorry - thought I had replied about that.

kolaente · 21 October 2021 21:10

Does it work if you configure VIKUNJA_API_URL with a / at the end?

wicadmin · 22 October 2021 05:12

I believe I have it setup now with an external domain access. However the issue now is that it isn’t persisting the redis DB when bringing down the system. Seems to be deleting the Redis DB. My config directory is empty.

kolaente · 22 October 2021 06:17

You don’t have a redis data mount on your config. See the docker hub redis page for that.

You won’t need it though, redis is only used as a cache - it is completely fine it the things stored on it don’t persist a restart.

You might not even need redis if you’re not using this instance with many people.

wicadmin · 22 October 2021 06:17

OK, I had to set a volume for redis to store data. Here is the working updated docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'

services:
  api:
    image: vikunja/api
    environment:
      VIKUNJA_REDIS_ENABLED: 1
      VIKUNJA_REDIS_HOST: 'redis:6379'
      VIKUNJA_CACHE_ENABLED: 1
      VIKUNJA_CACHE_TYPE: redis
    volumes:
      - ./files:/app/vikunja/files
    depends_on:
      - redis
    ports:
      - 3456:3456
    restart: unless-stopped
  redis:
    image: redis:4.0.8-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - redis_data:/data
  frontend:
    image: vikunja/frontend
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - api
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - .env

    ports:
      - 8087:80
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
    depends_on:
      - api
      - frontend
      - redis
    restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
  redis_data:
    external: false

wicadmin · 22 October 2021 06:20

oh, I thought redis was an alternate data store. So I have to use maria, mysql etc. for persistence as a requirement?

kolaente · 22 October 2021 07:51

Yes, you have to use a database. If you don’t configure anythin (like you did in your last compose file) it will use sqlite.

wicadmin · 22 October 2021 16:14

But where is sqlite persistent (or it isn’t). Shouldn’t it have created something in the files directory?

Per this, it would create a .db file in the current directory where docker-compose up is ran from, is this correct? I don’t see that file created.

kolaente · 23 October 2021 13:52

The sqlite file is created next to the binary. In docker, that is at /app/vikunja/vikunja.db. To prevent it from getting lost every time you restart the container you’ll have to mount it to your host. You can change the path with the config variable you linked but will need to create a mount to the host either way.

wicadmin · 23 October 2021 17:08

ok, I’ve managed to get a docker-compose.yml created that seems to be working. Maybe I’m new to Vikunja and need to read the documentation but I’m not able to see another users in the same team to assign a task to.

kolaente · 23 October 2021 17:34

Did you share the list or namespace with that team?

wicadmin · 23 October 2021 17:55

And it was as simple as that

Sorry, been caught up with the install and only doing some basic persistence verification.

Looks to be working well. Will open new topics if anything else arises.
