headscale docker keep restarting about headscale

[eMoonT]

You can refer to my configuration, which might provide you with some help.

version: '3.7'
services:
  headscale:
    image: headscale/headscale:0.23.0-alpha9
    container_name: headscale
    volumes:
      - ./config:/etc/headscale/
      - /var/run/headscale
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9090:9090
    command: serve
    restart: always

There is currently no docker container with the latest tag.

Use specific version like headscale/headscale: 0.22.3 with a command headscale serve or a unstable alpha version
with headscale/headscale:0.23.0-alpha12 and a command serve.

Actually just did all your mentioned difference version combination, all is the same, can you do a test to verify?

[ohdearaugustin]

For 0.22.3 just follow the docs

[Kingwayer]

For 0.22.3 just follow the docs

that's the standard installation step I have followed, you didn't answer or give me any hints at all.

@ohdearaugustin why removed bug label? I think this is a bug and actually after months it's not been fixed yet.

[ohdearaugustin]

There is no config file what you are using. There are no logs.
And you claim that you followed the standard installation.

In my opinion this is a user error and not a bug in headscale.
It is a misconfiguration and therefore not a bug.
You reedited the docker-compose.

This docker-compose doesn't look like the one in the documentation.
Sorry, but it seems to me that you don't really understand docker.

[ohdearaugustin]

Add your config file and the log output.

Obviously your config is not loaded, this will cause headscale to restart.

Going to close this issue as it is clearly not a bug. For further support please join the discord server, people are always ready to help there.
