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!

        I don’t think postgres having fatal errors like that is normal. I’d check the user it’s running as and the permissions on the files/directories/volumes.

        You have a permissions issue with pg_logical/snapshots": Permission denied. Check that your volumes exist in /var/lib/docker/container (or something close) and that the user running docker can create a test file in the local directory (likely a db directory in the docker root)

        What’s your docker-compose.yml look like? Especially any volume mounts
