Cannot start docker container

[sbley]

I tried to run sourcebot as docker container, as described in the deployment guide. However, I cannot get it running.

docker run \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --pull=always \
    --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/data \
    -e CONFIG_PATH=/data/config.json \
    --name sourcebot \
    ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest

Can someone help me please?

Could you take a look at #263 , particularly #263 (comment) to see if that might help you get past the chown issue?

From what I understand, the issue is that the mounted directory needs to have the same owner (ID) in the container and on the host.
So here is what I did:

# in $HOME/sourcebot
sudo chown -R 70:70 . # this changes the owner to _www:_www for that directory (ID: 70)

# start container
docker run \ 
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --pull=always \
    --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/data \
    -e CONFIG_PATH=/data/config.json \
    --name sourcebot \
    ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest

And the container stops. So I can't run the db init script from within the container, as suggested in #263.
