Docker install redirect loop

[hirschnase]

Hello Community,

I try to install Cloudlog via Docker (docker-compose) and the containers (mysql and cloudlog) start just fine. However, when I try to load http://xyz/install, I get redirected to "install/" again and again and end up in a redirect loop.

Does someone have a hint what the problem could be?

Here is a curl output

curl -v http://localhost:9100/install/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:9100...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9100 (#0)
> GET /install/ HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.81.0
> Accept: */*
>
* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2023 20:44:42 GMT
< Server: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
< Location: install/
< Content-Length: 0
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

This is the docker image I am using: https://hub.docker.com/r/waarlandit/cloudlog

This is the .htaccess inside /var/www/html

# If you want to hide 'index.php' from the URL, rename this file to '.htaccess' on your server
# Then change the following variable in /application/config/config.php
#   $config['index_page'] = '';

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

This is the apache2 vhost file

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

<Directory /var/www/html>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

When I manually edit and copy the database.php and config.php from the sample files, I get a 404 response when calling /install.

404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.

So I am a bit stuck here at the moment. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Marc

Ok, after adding

define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');

to the index.php, and manually copying and editing of the config.php and database.php, I fianlly see at least something.

It seems like Cloudlog is not compatible with MariadDB 10.5?

Error Number: 1273

Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci'

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `migrations` ( `version` BIGINT(20) NOT NULL ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci

Filename: libraries/Migration.php

Line Number: 173```

One step further after replacing the following line in database.php

'dbcollat' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

I am really wondering why utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci is the default in this file when Mariadb 10.5 and the latest MySQL 5.x are not capable to work with this collation (I tried both).

Now I am getting other errors:

A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1146

Table 'log.options' doesn't exist

SELECT * FROM `options` WHERE `autoload` = 'yes'

Filename: models/Options_model.php

Line Number: 14

Looks like those tables would be added as part of the installation process? Seems like I am back at the start since the installation is still not working for me.

At least a migrations table has been created.

mysql> select * from migrations;
+---------+
| version |
+---------+
|       0 |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I hope anyone has an idea what is wrong here.

Ok, after a long debugging session I found out that the docker image seems to be broken. It deletes the install/ directory, which causes the redirect loop (for whatever reason). I tried another docker image/ docker-compose which is also broken by default, but was more easy to fix. Overall I think it would be helpful if there was an official Docker image which is working out-of-the-box. Right now it's a mess.
