Docker install failed: The main config file (config.cfg) does not exist

[nicolasgoudard]

Hello.
On Debian 10 the installation with Docker does not work

"The main config file (config.cfg) does not exist"

I extract the tarball as specified in the documentation (https://hub.docker.com/r/ldapaccountmanager/lam) but it does not work.

docker run -p 8080:80 -it -d --volume /export/docker/lam/data/config:/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config --env LAM_SKIP_PRECONFIGURE=true ldapaccountmanager/lam:stable

If I run like that it works :
docker run -p 8080:80 -it -d ldapaccountmanager/lam:stable

Then If I copy from docker to outside the container then, I restart with mounting the volume it does not work .
If I mount /etc/ldap-account-manager and /var/lib/ldap-account-manager it does not work
If I replace the config.php symlink by the real file it does not work too...

So what I can do ??
Have you tested the image ?

Best regards

Hi Nicolas,

I guess the mounted volume is an empty directory? Then you need to provision the config files first:

In case you need to provision from scratch please download the tar.bz2 file first. Then use the content of its config folder for the config volume.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I have made it already. But it does not work.
Have you got a tutorial step by step ?

This is pretty straight forward:

• extract the tar.bz2 archive
• copy all files and folders from the archive's config folder to /export/docker/lam/data/config/

You should have e.g. a /export/docker/lam/data/config/config.cfg file then (regular file, no link).
No need to mount /etc/ldap-account-manager in this case.
