linuxserver-archive / docker-shout-irc Goto Github PK

Steps to reproduce for me.

Install docker, start it.This works for as long as needed as far as I can see.
Stop or restart docker and it crashes everytime just after pulling updates from apt server.

If you switch the config over to private, the shout server won't start because it's looking for user information.

I would have thought this is a fairly common usecase, after all linuxserver stuff is mostly directed at self hosted private servers, and one of the main reasons to use shout is the always logged in history, which you can only get if shout is in private mode.

The shout docs show how to create users, but you really need to dig into how this container is configured in order to figure out the commands. The shout docs assume the module is installed globally.

The commands I ran to get this to work are:

docker exec -it shout node /app/node_modules/shout/index.js add levi
docker exec -t shout cp /root/.shout/users/levi.json /config/users/

OS: Debian Stretch

create command:

docker create \
  --name=shout \
  -v /srv/config/shout:/config \
  -e PGID=999 -e PUID=99  \
  -e TZ=Australia/Perth \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  lsiocommunity/shout-irc

Log output:
If you switch to private mode, this error is written to log repeatedly.

No users found!
Create a new user with 'shout add <name>'.

I guess my suggestion would be to provide some guidance about this in the readme. I imagine that the commands I used above are a cludge. I'm sure someone who understands more about docker / linuxserver can do better.

I know nothing about docker containers / linuxserver packages, but as an alternative would it be possible to simply install the npm shout package globally ? If that were possible, then it would make the commands more intuitive, ie: you could just use shout add levi instead of the 'node add levi`

Steps to reproduce.
Install docker and wait for first start.
Edit config.js file in the /config folder to change 'public' value to 'false'
Restart docker.
Log will report there are no users.
Connect to Docker bash.
Run 'shout add user'
Select password for user
Restart docker
Log will continue to complain there is no user and will not start.
