Image for a location is not shown

[timkolloch]

Hello guys!

I am running my AdventureLog behind a npm proxy, I can access it without any problem. However when creating a location I want to add a image by searching through Wikipedia and I always get a succesful message but no image is shown:

There are no errors in the console and I already followed the trouble shooting page for No images.

Is this a known error?

Best wishes,
Tim

Hi there! Are you able to double check the PUBLIC_URL in the backend container? With NPM do you have 2 subdomains (one for the frontend one for backend) or just one where you route traffic? If you have 2 the public url should be the url to the backend, if 1 make sure that any calls to /media are routed to the backend container on port 80.

Let me know if this helps, if not if you could provide more of your config that would help too!

Hi there!

I do have separate domains (adventure.mydomain.com and adventure-backend.mydomain.com).

And these are the corresponding settings in my .env

ORIGIN=https://adventure.mydomain.com
PUBLIC_URL=https://adventure-backend.mydomain.com
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https://adventure-backend.mydomain.com,https://adventure.mydomain.com
FRONTEND_URL=https://adventure.mydomain.com

Is there anything more you need for the config?

What I also noticed is that I cannot use the AdventureLog Admin Panel because I get a 403 when I try to login there, maybe that can help as well but I do not understand why.

Thanks in advance!

Ok! If you get a 403 on the admin panel, maybe the user you are logged in with is not a superuser/admin? The PUBLIC_URL looks good, what happens if you visit https://adventure-backend.mydomain.com/media/flags/us.png?

Let me know!

https://adventure-backend.mydomain.com/media/flags/us.png

Yes that might be the case, how can I create an admin user? I tried to login with the Django Backend username and password defined in the .env

If I access the us flag png it is shown correctly in my browser

I think I might have found the error.

I am using a Let's Encrypt certificate for services and in NPM I set the frontend to use the certificate but forgot about the backend. I now set the backend npm entry to use the certificate and now the image is shown correctly.

Is it possible that this was the issue?

[seanmorley15]

Yes that might have been the issue! To create a new admin user you can docker exec into the backend like docker exec -it adventurelog-backend bash and run python manage.py createsuperuser

Glad to hear it's working!
