/bin/sh: 1: git: not found Starting the container for first time

Describe the bug

I'm trying to deploy papra with the docker-compose file shown below, but I'm stuck with the error below:

docker-compose.yaml

services:
  papra:
    container_name: papra
    image: ghcr.io/papra-hq/papra:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "1221:1221"
    volumes:
      - /apps/papra:/app/app-data
    user: "${UID:-1000}:${GID:-1000}"
    env_file:
       - ../stack.env

stack.env content, where AUTH_SECRET is the result of openssl rand -hex 48 (I've inspected the container and it's properly set):

APP_BASE_URL=https://papra.REDACTED.COM
AUTH_SECRET=REDACTED

Error message:

> pnpm migrate:up:prod && pnpm start

> @papra/app-server@0.0.0 migrate:up:prod /app

> tsx src/scripts/migrate-up.script.ts

/bin/sh: 1: git: not found

/bin/sh: 1: git: not found

 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 132.

### What happened?

I expected the service to do the initial setup and start, but it will constantly crash.

### System information

I'm using docker-compose using the latest image.

### Where did you encounter the bug?

Other (installations, docker, etc.)

Your folders on your host side (/apps/papra{,db,documents} are either not created or not owned by the UID 1000/GID 1000.

mkdir /apps/papra /apps/papra/{db,documents}
chown 1000:1000 /apps/papra /apps/papra/{db,documents}

Then restart the container.

The git not found log is not a proper error: When starting, Papra tries to gather some info about the current version of the app by running git commands (to be displayed in the /about page), if git is not available (like in the Docker image) some sub processes info were piped to the app stderr instead of being ignored.
I removed those misleading logs in #880.

Regarding your issue, as stated by @michaelkrieger , it's likely due to some permission issues.

Your folders on your host side (/apps/papra{,db,documents} are either not created or not owned by the UID 1000/GID 1000.

mkdir /apps/papra /apps/papra/{db,documents} chown 1000:1000 /apps/papra /apps/papra/{db,documents}

Then restart the container.

Thanks, the folders exists and have the right ownership (and permissions), see command output below. The container didn't have git at all (command not found). Once added manually, it will then fail with an error message stating "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
