I'm trying to setup an invidious instance with Docker, but it isn't completing.

invidious_1 | 2023-08-27 17:23:46 UTC [info] 200 GET /api/v1/comments/jNQXAC9IVRw 479.27ms

It's been giving the same message for over an hour, and I can't connect to the web interface either. Any ideas?

That log entry is unrelated to whatever issues you're having. That's what the default docker-compose.yaml uses for health checks:

  healthcheck:
      test: wget -nv --tries=1 --spider http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/comments/jNQXAC9IVRw || exit 1
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 2

The fact that it returns a 200 probably means that Invidious is properly up and running. Could you elaborate further on what you mean by "setup isn't completing"? How are you trying to connect to the web UI? Sharing your docker-compose.yaml might help us debug as well.

Edit: I just noticed that the default compose file has the port bound to localhost:

    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"

which means you won't be able to access it from other machines inside or outside your network. You'd have to change that to - "3000:3000" to enable access for other machines.

That was my issue. Thank you very much!

To add to this, are you running docker-compose up with a -d flag?

When I got into Dockers, I got confused when the docker command would not complete (i.e. get back to bash shell after completing the command). In docker, you need to specify the "-d" flag to run it in background (i.e. separate daemon)

One more point, when @[email protected] says

You'd need to change that to 3000:3000.

It should be

    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

Ooooh, good catch. I assumed "it's been giving me the same message for over an hour" to mean that they've been monitoring the logs, not running in interactive mode. O_O

Thank You! I changed the port settings and used the "d" flag and it's working.
