ApostropheCMS Docker Image Issue

george.x.r · November 3, 2020, 9:31pm

I am trying to install aposcms using docker. I am following the exact steps as in their official documentation and when I repeat the step for docker-compose up I get the following error:

ERROR: no such image: aposDockerImageFileName:latest: invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase

Clearly the issue is in line 12 of the .yml file but I can’t find a solution for it and i have searched everywhere.

Any thoughts regarding this?

Hi George, have you tried the approach taken in the apostrophe-boilerplate project? That is the project our CLI starts new projects from, so you may already have a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml that came from it. The README.md also discusses this approach:

github.com

apostrophecms/apostrophe-boilerplate/blob/main/README.md#getting-started-with-docker

# Apostrophe Boilerplate v2.x

Apostrophe Boilerplate is a minimal starting point for [Apostrophe 2](https://github.com/apostrophecms/apostrophe) projects.

To get started, we recommend taking a look at [our guide to creating your first project](http://apostrophecms.org/docs/tutorials/getting-started/creating-your-first-project.html). You could also take a look at [Apostrophe's CLI](https://github.com/apostrophecms/apostrophe) or simply fork this repository.

Once you have a local copy of this project to work from, make sure to install its dependencies with `npm install`. With Apostrophe installed, the first thing to do create an admin user account so you're able to log into the CMS. Run the following command (this will prompt you for a password).

```bash
node app.js apostrophe-users:add admin admin
```

Now you're all set! Just run `node app.js` to start up the local server and head to `localhost:3000` in your web browser.

## Getting started with Docker

You can get the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml I’m talking about from that repo as well.

Let me know if that works better for you. I suspect the article you referenced needs updating.
