Hello, at the installation the error message appers:
Can’t find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any parent. Are you in the right directory?

    Supported filenames: docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.yaml

The config file is at C:/Users/

What can I do to finish the installation

Thanks

I will need more information to narrow down the issue. Can you confirm the following:

  • What OS are you using? is it a pro version?
  • Which version of Docker have you installed?
  • Have you extracted the Xibo docker files directly into the C:/Users folder or are they within their own folder under Users?
  • Have you configured the config.env file as per the installation instructions?
  • Have you shared the C drive in your docker settings?

When starting the container for the first time, you will need to open an Administrator Powershell, change the directory to the directory that contains your Xibo config and yml files and then run the command:

docker-compose up -d

It may take a few minutes to finish, but you will then be able to access the CMS through your web browser.

I have included a link to the installation manual below for reference just in case:

Many Thanks.

Thanks for your reply!

-I use Windows 10 (no pro Version)
-I installed the Docker-Toolbox
-At C:/Users are a Folder called Xibo
-Yes I configurate the config.env file, but Im not sure if it’s correct
-I shared the C drive at the Virtual box settings

I tried it with the Administrator Powershell with the same Error Message.

Many Thanks!

Thank you for answering my questions. I have attached a link below that is for your specfic Xibo Docker Installation, can you confirm that you have followed all of the steps in this manual?

https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/install_docker_winother_64bit.html

When you run the docker-compose up -d command you need to be within the directory that contains the yml files. For example, if your config.env and yml files are in the folder directory C:\Users\Xibo, then you need to change the directory in your Admin Powershell to that directory. This can be done with the following command:

cd C:\Users\Xibo

If you have completed all of the steps in the installation guide and have run the docker-compose up -d command from the directory that contains the yml files, but it is still not working, please include a screenshot of the Powershell response. You can also run docker ps -a and send me a screenshot.

Many Thanks.
