If you’re looking for help, please provide information about your environment. If you delete this template and don’t provide any information, your topic will be automatically closed. If you aren’t running the latest version of Ghost, the first thing we’ll ask you to do is update to the latest version of Ghost. - **What’s your URL**? Not currently deployed. - **What version of Ghost are you using?** 3.1 And - How was Ghost installed and configured? Docker (not yet working) - What Node version, database, OS & browser are you using? MySQL, Manjaro Linux, Firefox generally. - What errors or information do you see in the console? The launch of MySQL is simply restarting over and over again based on default docker yaml provided here: [https://hub.docker.com/\_/ghost/](https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost/) - full yaml below. - What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? I simply copied the available yaml and tried launching. After various attempts and failures I tried simply spinning up MySQL docker (from yaml, running “docker compose up -d db”) and here’s what I see: > 488c3e111781 mysql:8.0 “docker-entrypoint.s…” 17 hours ago Restarting (1) 37 seconds ago ghost-db-1 It’s been in a restart cycle for 30 minutes about. Here is my full yaml - obviously “example” will be changed once I can successfully get this up and running. FWIW I did get the developer version up and running with the provided docker command: ```auto $ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -e url=http://[IP]:3001 -p 3001:2368 ghost ``` ```auto version: '3.1' services: ghost: image: ghost:5-alpine restart: always ports: - 3001:2368 environment: # see https://ghost.org/docs/config/#configuration-options database__client: mysql database __connection__ host: db database __connection__ user: root database __connection__ password: example database __connection__ database: ghost # this url value is just an example, and is likely wrong for your environment! url: https://dysfunctionalreading.khaos-monkey.com/ # contrary to the default mentioned in the linked documentation, this image defaults to NODE_ENV=production (so development mode needs to be explicitly specified if desired) #NODE_ENV: development volumes: - ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content db: image: mysql:8.0 restart: always environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example volumes: - db:/var/lib/mysql volumes: ghost: db: ``` ---

Try this docker compose file… 1. you can use `image: ghost:latest` on arm64 as well 2. Map `/content` to your local file system to store images etc, create a folder `/content` in the directory where you keep `docker-compose.yml` 3. First `docker compose pull` and then `docker compose up` to get the logfile in console and see Ghost launching. Then you can kill it with ctrl-C and `docker compose up -d` to deamonize 4. e-mail settings included, STARTTLS on 587 starts unencrypted and upgrades, thus `mail __options__ secure: false` ```auto services: ghost: image: ghost:latest restart: always ports: - 3001:2368 environment: database __connection__ host: db database __connection__ user: root database __connection__ password: dbRootPass12345 database __connection__ database: ghost url: https://example.com mail __options__ auth__pass: smtpPassword mail __options__ auth__user: smtpUser mail __options__ host: smtp.example.com mail __options__ port: 587 mail __options__ secure: false mail __options__ service: smtpService mail__transport: SMTP mail__from: sender@example.com links: - db volumes: - /home/user/dockerghost/content:/var/lib/ghost/content depends_on: - db db: image: arm64v8/mysql:8 restart: always environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: dbRootPass12345 MYSQL_DATABASE: ghost MYSQL_USER: ghost MYSQL_PASSWORD: dbGhostPass12345 volumes: - mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql volumes: mysql-data: ``` ---

I was able to resolve this by purging the container directory and just starting from scratch. I’m not sure what the hiccup was but it’s resolved. Thanks!
