SUMMARY

Not able to add new project to a newly installed devilbox while devilbox or ubuntu does not honor hosts file. hosts file bears the 127.0.0.1 projects entry, but devilbox still claims, i would have to add this entry.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Install current Ubuntu 16.04
create user / group devilbox
install docker ce (following devilbox/docker instructions)
install docker compose (following devilbox/docker instructions)
install git
clone devilbox in /opt
cp example-env .env
edit /opt/devilbox/ .env as enclosed
su devilbox
cd /opt/devilbox/data/www
mkdir project
cd project
mkdir htdocs
exit
cd /etc
nano hosts
add: 127.0.0.1 project.loc
save
docker-compose up bind httpd php mysql

browse to intranet scrreen
menue: vhosts:
then i will get this:

No Host DNS record found. Add the following to /etc/hosts:127.0.0.1 project.loc

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

it just works as intended and i can add new projects to devilbox and hosts file... :-)

ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR

Whatever i do, and i setup various times and tried different solutions found in world wide web, and all ended up with this error, i couldn't get Ubuntu to do auto dns'ing; i messed up several times and now i am sorta broke :-(

OTHER INFORMATION

Start command

$ docker-compose up bind http php mysql

File and user permissions (Linux & MacOS)

$ id
1001:1001

Hint: when i sudo devilbox and try to start docker-compose up there i will get this:
Couldn'T connect to docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?
User devilbox IS being in docker group as well.
With root user docker-compose up works

$ ls -la data/www
drwxrwxr-x 3 devilbox devilbox 4096 Jun 20 06:46 project

Queestion: Is it correct to chown the project files & directories to the devilbox user? Usually i'd use www-data for user/group when placing files in webserverdirectory.

None of the variables are set, did you copy env-example to .env?

Also this is mixed root user and mixed devilbox user.

Queestion: Is it correct to chown the project files & directories to the devilbox user? Usually i'd use www-data for user/group when placing files in webserverdirectory.

You don't have to chown anything. Use your local uesrs' uid and gid and add this to the .env and then just start docker-compose up as your normal user.

Well,

i gave it a try with a windows setup, having the same problem here, after i set in the windows host file 127.0.0.1 joomla.loc it still keeps telling me i have to add that to my hosts file ...

And yes, i copied the env-example over to .env, whether it was under linux or with windows. I had a problem first with Docker for Windows, because HyperV kept me from adding port 80, so i set port 80 to 8080... BUT i am using the new edge version of docker for windows (experimental), since the previous one would ask me for login / password to share the discdrive with docker. Since i do not have a password, because i us 2FA; i couldn't continue with installation. Found later the new branch, which will work without samba; therefore might be that part of the problem? Docker for Windows, according to your documentation, handles the uid and gid for itself, but will it still, if it does NOT use samba? See here: docker/for-win#616 (comment)

Thanks for getting back, i almost gave up hope on this one.

Best

Here the versions:
docker 19.03.5 build 633a0ea
docker-compose 1.25.0-rc4 build 8f3c9c58

Judging by these errors:

WARNING: The HOST_PORT_MONGO variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
ERROR: The Compose file './../docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
services.memcd.ports is invalid: Port ranges don't match in length

Something is wrong with your setup. It doesn't even show any logs from any Docker container. So I suggest you troubleshoot this first.

[dbrw]

I think this might also relevant:

I found error on browser console:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource

[franksierra]

I'm not sure if this is exactly your problem, but here we go.

I've been having this issue for months (intermittent) I'm on windows using 53 as DNS port and setting the primary DNS as 127.0.0.1 I was wondering why sometimes it work and then suddenly stops.
tried a lookup for one of the domains and seems like windows is defaulting to IPv6 and the bind container isn't answering.


After disabling IPv6.

Although the message is correct, its a bit misleading in this case.

[alexfd7]

I'm having the same problem reported.

[andim27]

The problem is active if you use vpn. Disconnect vpn service and all will be work

[bbeale]

I'm having the same issue and disabling my VPN connection did not fix it.

[ahmedch1]

You should enter the /etc/hosts of your user not from devilbox container , check if is that is the problem?

[tik9]

@ahmedch1, I cannot image a /etc/hosts in the container as this is the sense of docker: Using the base system. And never heard that a user owns /etc/hosts. So I recommend that you push your IT knowledge a bit before sharing your thoughts here .

[cytopia]

This issue already got quite messy.

@creactiv you seem to have several local issues:

1. Your files and directories have wrong ownership. It should it of your local user/group
2. docker-compose logs command must be issue from root of project, otherwise it won't yield any useful output
3. Git commit of Devilbox is missing, so I won't be able to reproduce with your currently checked out version

---

@dbrw If you have specific issues, please open up a separate bug report

---

@alexfd7 / @bbeale Please create separate bug reports with your specific details.

---

@ Everyone:

Also worth to mention: Devilbox is currently at v1.8.1 (#747), which has a lot of bug fixes and additions.
One of them being check-config.sh, which will automatically check against common configuration issues.
Please upgrade to this version and in case this error still persist, open a new bug report with required details and steps to reproduce. This will make it a bit easier to give support on specific cases.
