Program fails to start as MariaDB has no password set so the container fails to start

[ethernet6]

After setting the env with MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD etc. parameters this still does not address the error I faced when I started the docker compose file. The images are created for the program via Docker compose up but the MARIADB container's password is not set at the configured entry point. As a person new to Docker I am unable to fix this and or make the database run to support the greater application, it therefore fails to load on localhost:3000 and MariaDB exits with code 1.

Anyone encountered this error?

@jaydrogers might have a little more insight on this. We will take a look!

I can confirm, I'm using docker and portainer to manage my docker, and today when I've followed https://serversideup.net/open-source/financial-freedom/docs/community/contributing#running-locally-in-your-development it failed

You need to specify one of MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD, MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD_HASH, MARIADB_ALLOW_EMPTY_ROOT_PASSWORD and MARIADB_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD

Just an update: We're thinking of converting everything to SQLite to solve this problem. Then people don't need the complexities of managing a database

Hi, I've added this line, and it worked
mariadb:
image: mariadb:10.11
volumes:
- database:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=some_password
