Initial Docker Install Issues

[johnkratochvil]

Hello- I'm trying to set up a brand new Chevereto install on a fresh Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS system. I have a v4 license, so I'm using the Pure Docker and Build instructions.

Everything goes fine until I get to this step: "make proxy EMAIL_HTTPS=mail@yourdomain.tld" (I'm substituting a valid email for mail@yourdomain.tld), after which it throws a "docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /nginx/chevereto.conf.
See 'docker run --help'.
make: *** [Makefile:216: proxy] Error 125" error. Obviously, I want the certification to work, so what am I doing wrong? I've tried a couple times to get this to work and I can't find any other references to this error.

well you got the answer right there, "bind": bind source path does not exist: /nginx/chevereto.conf. it is saying that path /nginx/chevereto.conf does not exists, so make sure that is right path.

Hi Everyone, I just hit this error, can someone please help with an actual solution.

I think this error might be to do with a non-root install using sudo. UPDATE: works fine when installing as root, the only problem I had is a lot of VPS providers restrict root remote logins and so I was using the provider console which didn't allow paste, so I had to try a couple of times to type in the license in correctly.

Yes, some providers really cripple Docker. I've noticed that they often jam the network and several others no-no. Sometimes is not that they restrict you, is just that the Docker engine comes configured "as-is".
