Internal server error

[Rabe1402]

I get an internal server error in initial login.
I used the QuickStart guide and i looked for the problem in other github issues and the logs but didn't find anything.
Someone else with a similar experience?

Same, can't login or create a new user: internal server error.

Can you provide more details? E.g. Javascript console output, what the networks tab in your browser shows, whether you're running the frontend on another address than localhost:3000 etc?

I got it working but with big changes in the docker compose

Please share!

@evroon still debugging (and learning) here. Not much experience with CORS/Front/Backend stuff.

Its ok, I have the "production" version working. NPM sits in front with the INT-PROXY-LAN network.

networks:
  INT-PROXY-LAN:
    external: true
    name: proxy-lan

volumes:
  bracket_prod__pg_data:
  bracket_prod_backend:

The problem I faced with v3.0.0-rc1 and master is that the frontend does not respect environment variables. I had to copy .env.development to .env and override VITE_API_BASE_URL there to get it to respect it

[evroon]

The trick with the environment variables was very fragile and broke every now and then. I am inclined to remove that hack and let users just build the Docker image themselves because it gives more problems than solutions.

[alimalkhalifa]

Makes sense to me.

This is my current docker-compose.yml in case it saves you 5 minutes of work!

services:
    bracket-frontend:
        build: ./src/frontend
        container_name: bracket-frontend
        ports:
            - "3000:3000"
        environment:
            NODE_ENV: "production"
            VITE_API_BASE_URL: "http://10.1.1.1:8400"
        restart: unless-stopped

    bracket-backend:
        build: ./src/backend
        container_name: bracket-backend
        ports:
            - "8400:8400"
        environment:
            ENVIRONMENT: "DEVELOPMENT"
            PG_DSN: "postgresql://bracket_prod:bracket_prod@postgres:5432/bracket_prod"
            CORS_ORIGINS: 'http://10.1.1.1:3000,http://10.1.1.1:8400'
            JWT_SECRET: 'secret'
        volumes:
            - ./backend/static:/app/static
        restart: unless-stopped
        depends_on:
          - postgres

    postgres:
        image: postgres
        restart: always
        environment:
          POSTGRES_DB: bracket_prod
          POSTGRES_USER: bracket_prod
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: bracket_prod
        volumes:
          - ./postgres:/var/lib/postgresql

[alimalkhalifa]

I would say the biggest blockers to easy building at the moment:

• The environment variables (this affects frontend only, as I believe Vite.js is only picking up the variables in .env)
• The postgres 18+ change where the volume should be binding to /var/lib/postgresql not to /var/lib/postgresql/data
• The fact that you NEED to launch any new database with ENVIRONMENT=DEVELOPMENT first so that it properly provisions and then you can switch to ENVIRONMENT=PRODUCTION

All three of these issues lead to the same error on the front end (internal server error)

[evroon]

Thanks, that's very helpful. Especially the last one i wasnt aware of. I will try to look into it

Any update on your solution? I'm facing the same issue, I've tried everything found in the issues, and from the documentation and can't get passed the login screen.

[astrakid]

can confirm this. tried a lot, but nothing works for me.
