heyform docker not starting up

[envy]

Hi,

I wanted to try out heyform and used the docker compose selfhosting example.

Sadly, my heyform container just crashes on startup with the following log:

> [email protected] migrate:seed
> mongoose-cli seed --name apps.ts

[mongoose-cli] Using environment "undefined"
[mongoose-cli] apps.ts: migrating
[mongoose-cli] Invalid URL

I tried with MONGO_URI set to mongodb://mongo:27017/heyform (as in the example), I tried with the example showing mongo authentication. I also tried renaming the mongo container. In all cases, the heyform container starts up for about 8-10 secs and then restarts. The only log entries are the ones provided above over and over again.
I did replace the key environment variables with my own random values.

My mongodb and redis are fresh containers only for this purpose, there is nothing in them. They start up as expected.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://docs.heyform.net/self-hosting and copy the "Run on your own computer" example
2. docker compose up
3. Look at the log of the restarting container

Expected behavior
heyform starts up.

HeyForm (please complete the following information):

• Install: self hosted
• Version: v0.0.6, latest container tag

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3

Can you paste your docker-compose.yml here?

Sure:

---
version: "3"
networks:
  traefik_bridge:
    external: true
  default:
volumes:
  data:
services:
  heyform:
    image: heyform/community-edition:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - mongo
      - redis
    networks:
      - traefik_bridge
      - default
    environment:
      APP_HOMEPAGE_URL: "https://forms.mydomain.com"
      SESSION_KEY: "somerandomstring"
      FORM_ENCRYPTION_KEY: "anotherrandomstring"
      MONGO_URI: "mongodb://mongo:27017/heyform"
      REDIS_HOST: redis
      REDIS_PORT: 6379
  
  mongo:
    image: mongo:4.4.29-focal
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "data:/data/db"
  
  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: "redis-server --appendonly yes"

Connection to mongo also succeeds as I can see this in the mongo logs:

Alright, I found the issue. We are using Ansible to deploy this and during templating of the compose file, the protocol in APP_HOMEPAGE_URL was left out, i.e. https:// was missing. Because mongoose was throwing the error I falsely assumed the error was somehow related to mongodb. Sorry for this.
