Missing dependency or permission issue?

[eq2kazial]

Hi, I'm new-ish to docker and getting my feet wet with Linux again. I've been trying for days to get this to work and I'm not informed enough to recognize what the issue might be. Debian 12, docker install. My beets & beets-flask env is set to "/opt/docker" I've verified the permissions are correct for user/group 1000, tho I only have root access to the docker container in "/var/lib/..." as I've read I shouldn't alter those permissions. This is my current output from logs

Updating UID to 1000 and GID to 1000 usermod: no changes
Running as
uid=1000(beetle) gid=1000(beetle) groups=1000(beetle),1000(beetle)

To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

I know my lack of knowledge regarding this is the issue, thank you in advance for any help.

After more hours spent troubleshooting, this is what I've learned:

• If I compose with complete default settings and remove the

-v /wherever/config/:/config

then the gui will be reachable. However it completely ignores the volumes of my host for my music folder for inbox & clean. Clicking on Inbox or Tags says Error, load failed.

I also edited the Env variable for BEETSDIR and BEETSFLASKDIR but this seems to be completely ignored, it will only use the config folders that it creates by default (which doesn't help me since I need my actual beets config to be used).

I did verify that my outside directory (in this case /opt ) had the correct permissions for user 1000:1000 but the worker still said permission denied (even if I did 777).

Therefore any actual customization options on my end to use my actual volume locations seems to cause errors and not work.

Gonna move on for now since I don't have the programming know-how to figure out how to fix these issues but if I can provide additional info to help troubleshoot I'd be happy to.

Thanks!

Can you share your compose file?

I'll share mine. Maybe that can help you.

Be aware that I changed the port to 5555 as 5001 was already in use, and the music-inbox/archive/streaming directories are on a network share, so those parts might not be applicable to you.

services:
  beets-flask:
    image: pspitzner/beets-flask
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 5555:5001
    environment:
      USER_ID: 1000
      GROUP_ID: 1000
    volumes:
      - /home/nis/.config/:/config/
      - /home/nis/music/raw/:/home/nis/music/raw/
      - music-inbox:/media/music/inbox/
      - music-archive:/media/music/clean/
      - music-streaming:/media/music/streaming/
volumes:
  music-inbox:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs
      o: username=${SMB_USER},password=${SMB_PASS},uid=1000,gid=1000

hi @eq2kazial,

Im sorry you having a hard time getting this up and running.

I know our documentation is still quite limited - so far this is something we are building for our own needs, and the onboarding experience for non-techies isnt great yet. Having said that, issues like these help others who might have the same problems to solve them until we merge all that knowledge into a Getting-Started guide.

Anyway.
Could you help me understand your setup a bit better? It seemed a bit like you might be trying to run beets-flask as a container inside another (debian) container? I have never tried anything like that and would advise against it.

• What are the absolute paths on your host machine?
• Where should they go inside the container?
• as nis suggested, please share your compose file (also beets and beets-flask configs might help)

best,
p
