Proget docker container has no access to packages on file system

[m.schindler_7799]

Hi,

I had to re-install our proget server ( postgresql container, proget:latest ). Access to web ui works and our feeds and packages are listed. But when I try to download a package I get an error 'Cannot find the package in the package store.' In Manage Feed view the package path is correct: /var/proget/packages/.nugetv2/F2
In file system all packages exist.

docker run -d -v proget-packages:/var/proget/packages ....

Any ideas? How can I check if proget uses correct package path? Any log files th check?

Best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

The package metadata records are in the database, but the files are on disk.

The error is thrown when the operating system reports file-not-found when loading a file.

Why is the operating system reporting that, it's hard to say. With Docker, there are two things to consider:

• The package store (typically Admin > Advanced Settings > Root Package Store) refers to files within the container
• The docker run -v command maps a directory outside of the container to one within the container

Perhaps the directory outside of the contaienr doesn't have the file, or is a typo or something? Please let us know what you find...

Hope that helps.

Hi Alana,

thank you for your answer. I solved the problem. It was a mistake on volume mapping.

Right command is: docker run -d -v /var/proget/packages:/var/proget/packages ....

In your online installation guide its configured to use package store within container.

Best regards,
Markus

We've clarified the instructions for mounting the packages volume. In short, both formats will persist packages beyond the container's lifetime, but if you already have packages stored somewhere, you'll need to mount that directory (as you discovered) instead of using the "proget-packages" Docker volume.
