How should I solve this problem?

cosmichorror.dev

i believe i may have also had this issue until i explicitly passed KNOT_SERVER_DB_PATH=/app/knotserver.db as an env to docker

also although 1.10.0-alpha is the latest image pushed to dockerhub the latest release is actually 1.13.0-alpha. you probably want to build the Dockerfile yourself to run the latest version

cosmichorror.dev

upd: it looks like there's now a container registry with the latest image available: https://atcr.io/r/tangled.org/knot

(note: i'm having some problems on the latest version though, so be warned)

I encountered the same error

knot: failed to load db: unable to open database file: no such file or directory

The error was when using the docker-compose file, with bind-mounted volumes, the user owning the directories is the user who created the on the host, by running mkdir.

The solution that work for me was to change ownership of the bind-mounted volumes, to use the IDs of the user/group that is used inside the container.

So I ran create my volumes using :

mkdir keys repositories server
chown -R 1000:1000 keys repositories server

I've openned a PR to add this to the readme.
