Puter Docker - No login via browser (intermittent wallpaper display)

[ianweatherburn]

Issue Description
puter is started via docker and is active at http://192.168.0.152:4100

however fancy wallpaper intermittently appears in browser (mostly, not at all unless I clear cache - otherwise plain dark-blue background),
and more importantly, NO login appears at all so I cannot enter the default credentials provided to continue configuration.
Container shows as healthy, via the health-check so it is responding to the wget's

Steps to Reproduce
mount docker container via docker-compose.yml
[docker-compose.yml]
puter:
image: ghcr.io/heyputer/puter:latest
container_name: puter
restart: unless-stopped
pull_policy: always
environment:
- 'PUID=${PUID}'
- 'PGID={PGID}'
- 'TZ=${TZ}'
- 'CONFIG_PATH=/etc/puter'
ports:
- '${PUTER}:4100'
volumes:
- '${DATA}/puter/config:/etc/puter'
- '${DATA}/puter/data:/var/puter'
healthcheck:
test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://puter.localhost:4100/test || exit 1
interval: 30s
timeout: 3s
retries: 3
start_period: 30s

.env variables
PUTER=4100
PGID=1000
PUID=1000
TZ=Africa/Johannesburg
DATA=/home/iwadmin/docker/appdata

Expected & Actual Behavior
Login screen where default user credentials provided by the container can be captured and configuration/setup can continue/complete.

This looks like the same as #230, you could try this solution from there:

So far we've added a config option to remove the requirement of a api. subdomain:

    "experimental_no_subdomain": true,

Thank you. This has fixed the login issue.
However, no App Centre, Dev Center, no Browser, Terminal doesn't work.

Thank you. This has fixed the login issue. However, no App Centre, Dev Center, no Browser, Terminal doesn't work.

App Centre, Dev Center, and Browser being missing is expected, we don't include those now, but we will do later.

Can you explain what issues you're having with the Terminal?

[ianweatherburn]

Thanks for the clarification. Terminal fails to start. Window opens, cursor, no prompt. No error message in docker logs.

[AtkinsSJ]

OK. First, after opening Terminal, can you have a look at the Task Manager in Puter? It's in this menu and should have an entry for "phoenix" underneath the "terminal" one, like so:

Second, if you can look at the browser console again, there should be some kind of clue there.

And finally, what version of Puter is it running? It'll be on the "About" tab of the Settings app. We did recently have issues with the terminal and I don't know how Docker updates things, but it might be running an older version somehow.

[ianweatherburn]

1. Task Manager is in line with your screenshot.
   

2. Browser Javascript Console after launching Terminal
   Arc Browser v1.40.1
   
   Safari Browser v17.14.1
   

3. Puter Docker Version :latest
   Version: 2.1.0 • Server: ISENGARD • Deployed: 02/05/2024, 15:31:56

[AtkinsSJ]

Thanks. I'm a bit confused. The errors that contextlink and main_shell are not defined mean it's probably an issue with installing nested dependencies - but that should have been fixed before 2.1.0.

I'm going to spend some time today setting up Docker to see if I can reproduce this.
