Hey there!

I’m a self-hosting enthusiast, and I’m learning the hard way, so I appreciate your patience as I navigate through this.

I’ve been on the hunt for a video hosting solution that offers categories and tags, and I’ve heard great things about MediaCMS. It seems like the perfect fit for what I need.

After some trial and error, I finally got it up and running. The only hiccup I’m facing now is with logging into the admin panel. I keep getting an error 500. I checked out some similar issues on github, but it doesn’t seem to apply to my situation, and there isn’t a solution posted. Plus, it looks like the developer is not very active on the issues.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem before and might have some insights to share.

Here’s some additional info: I cloned the repository from https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms and made some edits to the docker-compse.yaml file to suit my preferences, mainly adjusting the volume paths. You can check it out here. The service takes a bit of time to start, but eventually it does and I can access the landing page. However, when I try to sign in, I just get a “Server Error (500)” message. I’ve checked the logs but haven’t found anything useful.

Has anyone who uses MediaCMS encountered this issue before? Can someone reproduce and help me clear this out? Thanks a lot for your assistance!

    Try to open the web developer tools in your web browser, to look if there is anything useful. It’s different for every browser but on firefox: ≡ > more tools > Web Developer tools. Look into the network tab and refresh your page and try to login again. This can sometimes give you some hints what’s going wrong.

    Also have you tried to log every container from the compose?

    When you ls all containers do they seem healthy or does one do not start? docker container ls -a ?

      Thanks for your answer. I’m not sure what to look for in the browser’s logs but here it is.

      I have logs for all containers here:

      celery_beat

      celery_worker

      db. A lot of errors here, but I think I recall reading somewhere in the issues that it doesn’t matter. I’d have to double check that.

      redis

      web

      I have one container exited, mediacms_migrations, but I noticed it stopped right after the stack’s setup and thought it would be used only for startup. Here are the logs for it

        It looks like db is fried, I’d assume all the permission errors prevent it from running normally. Is there a healthcheck configured?
