Farmos docker installation

Hosting farmOS

Hello,

I installed docker and farmos with help from chatgpt.

docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
b3a9ebb7836d farmos/farmos:latest “docker-entrypoint.s…” 13 hours ago Up 13 hours 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp, [::]:8080->80/tcp farmos
a6342a8d08e5 mariadb:10.11 “docker-entrypoint.s…” 13 hours ago Up 13 hours 3306/tcp farmos-db

Although I can access the website, I’m not able to do anything without getting an error message. chatgpt concludes it’s demo version that is very restricted, and that I should reinstall. Meanwhile, I’d like to consult here to see if I can’t get it to work.

Here’s an example of what doesn’t work. I want to enter data. I go to Records/Assets. I click on Add Asset, then click on Add a new asset type. This leads to an error msg: Access denied. I have tried numerous things, all leading to error messages. Can you help or provide me with a procedure to resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hi @mark welcome to the community! :smile:

This is somewhat intentional. It isn’t possible to add asset types through the UI. They must be added via modules.

Go to Setup > Modules and install one or more asset type modules, and then you’ll be able to add assets of those types.

We don’t recommend using latest because upgrades require manual steps, so it’s recommended that you run a specific version and change that when you’re ready to upgrade.

Please read and understand the official installation and upgrade guides on farmOS.org:

We’ve put a lot of effort into making sure those guides are correct and will ensure a painless hosting and updating process.

We can’t take any responsibility for what ChatGPT tells you… so use it to get the basic idea, but please read official documentation so you understand what you’re doing. :rocket:
