Asks for .env file when there's nothing like that in the documentation

[abhinav-koodoo]

Report

After following the steps from the documentation, I encounter the following error:

env file /Users/whatever/work/experiments/pezzo/.env not found: stat /Users/whatever/work/experiments/pezzo/.env: no such file or directory

Expected behavior

Expected it to run the containers necessary to run pezzo.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Clone the pezzo repository
2. Run cd pezzo
3. Run docker compose up

Logs (if applicable)

> docker compose up

WARN[0000] The "SUPERTOKENS_DATABASE_URL" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
env file /Users/whatever/work/experiments/pezzo/.env not found: stat /Users/whatever/work/experiments/pezzo/.env: no such file or directory

Pezzo version

0.8.0

How do you use Pezzo?

Local Development Setup

I'm seeing the same.

docker compose up -> pezzo/.env.docker not found
docker-compose up -> pezzo/.env not found

Same

[nsvrana]

This was broken in commit, when the .env files were added to gitignore and deleted.

[LouisLecouturier]

Any solutions ?

[abhinav-koodoo]

@LouisLecouturier one option may be to revert to before the breaking commit that @nsvrana identified. Haven't tested it myself though.

[nsvrana]

I looked at all the .env files in the previous commits and only a few were not empty. I moved the few environment variables into my docker compose instead. The application still would not start after that and I haven’t spent more time troubleshooting. I don’t think there is much focus on the self-hosting aspect.

@NoDataFound My error looks different than yours. Missing .env vs. .env.docker

[dumbsheep1990]

file: docs/deployment/docker-compose.mdx

After I added the env.local file using the cat command according to the documentation in the above directory of the project, docker-compose -f docker-compose.infra.yaml ran successfully.

[dumbsheep1990]

[dumbsheep1990]

then cd apps/server and apps/console, cp .env.example to .env.

[dumbsheep1990]

Are you ready to close source? I modified a large number of dockerfile configuration files. The service started successfully, but when I access the homepage, I cannot create an account or register. There is no default account information in the official documents.

[Kaiohz]

with this .env file :

PINO_PRETTIFY="true" SUPERTOKENS_CONNECTION_URI="http://localhost:3567" CONSOLE_HOST="http://localhost:4200" KAFKA_BROKERS="localhost:9092" OPENSEARCH_URL="http://localhost:9200" REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"NX_BASE_API_URL="http://localhost:3000" NX_SUPERTOKENS_API_DOMAIN="http://localhost:3000" NX_SUPERTOKENS_WEBSITE_DOMAIN="http://localhost:4200" NX_DEBUG_MODE="true"

and this .env.docker file :

SUPERTOKENS_DATABASE_URL= DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5433/pezzo

i just let this line in the docker-compose:

env_file: - ./.env

i am finally able to launch the docker compose up command but still have a problem with prisma migrate that can't reach the database

thanks @NoDataFound for the clue on .env.docker

[ranst91]

Thanks @NoDataFound, @foreveryh and the rest for reporting this and finding some ways around.
I have now finally set up a solution in the PR mentioned above

If you experience any issue after the solution is implemented, do let me know!

I had some trouble getting this to work but managed to overcome it. Here's what I did to get docker compose up running. I hope this helps whoever needs it.

1. You will be greeted with the following warning.

❯ docker compose up
WARN[0000] The "SUPERTOKENS_DATABASE_URL" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string. 

The solution is to replace this line

pezzo/docker-compose.infra.yaml

Line 78 in 938bf61

POSTGRES_CONNECTION_URI: "${SUPERTOKENS_DATABASE_URL}"

with POSTGRES_CONNECTION_URI: postgres://postgres:postgres@postgres:5432/supertokens.

2. Next, remove this line

   pezzo/docker-compose.infra.yaml

   Line 1 in 938bf61

   version: "3"

   , specifically version: "3" because it isn't needed to get rid of the warning.

WARN[0000] /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/docker-compose.infra.yaml: the attribute `version` is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion 

3. Copy this file (https://github.com/pezzolabs/pezzo/blob/main/.env.example), rename it accordingly and place it on all the paths where it is complaining.

❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/proxy/.env not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/proxy/.env: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env.docker not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env.docker: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/console/.env not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/console/.env: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env.local not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/.env.local: no such file or directory
❯ docker compose up
env file /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/server/.env.local not found: stat /Users/dc/Desktop/github/pezzo/apps/server/.env.local: no such file or directory

4. Now, finally you will be able to run docker compose up successfully. :)
