Built the image yourself

Copy Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to the root directory, then update the docker-compose.yml file to build the image instead of pulling:

version: "3.7"
services:
  pocketbase:
    build:
      context: .
      args:
        - VERSION=0.22.10 # <--------- Set the Pocketbase version here. It will be downloaded from their GitHub repo
    container_name: pocketbase
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - --encryptionEnv #optional
      - ENCRYPTION #optional
    environment:
      ENCRYPTION: example #optional
    ports:
      - "8090:8090"
    volumes:
      - /path/to/data:/pb_data
      - /path/to/public:/pb_public #optional
      - /path/to/hooks:/pb_hooks #optional
    healthcheck: #optional (recommended) since v0.10.0
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:8090/api/health || exit 1
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

How to add hooks

Hi,
This Docker image was a lifesaver, so thank you.
This may be a dumb question but I'm a bit of a noob to this, how do I add pb hooks using this image? Iv'e tried just mounting it as a volume to /pb_hooks but that does't seem to work.
Thanks!

Pocketbase container keeps restarting !

I used docker cli to create a container for pocketbase as provided in readme.
Everything worked fine until I clicked on restore pocketbase backup. After this, it just keeps restarting.

What I have tried

• docker kill pocketbase
• docker stop pocketbase

Even after this when I start the container. It only shows status as restarting.

Below is the output of docker ps

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                 COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                          PORTS     NAMES
f921b535309a   ghcr.io/muchobien/pocketbase:latest   "/usr/local/bin/pock…"   14 minutes ago   Restarting (1) 48 seconds ago             pocketbase

does it support hooks?

volumes:
- ./pb_data:/pb_data
- ./pb_migrations:/pb_migrations
- ./pb_hooks:/pb_hooks

---- to update, just added

entrypoint: /usr/local/bin/pocketbase serve --http=0.0.0.0:8090 --dir=/pb_data --hooksDir=/pb_hooks

Pulling docker image via CLI gives "denied: denied" response

APP_URL environment variable doesn't seem to have an effecct

Hello.
I'm currently trying to setup pocketbase like this:

version: "3.7"
services:
  pocketbase:
    image: ghcr.io/muchobien/pocketbase:latest
    container_name: pocketbase
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8000:8090"
    volumes:
      - /opt/pocketbase/data:/pb_data
      - /opt/pocketbase/public:/pb_public
    environment:
      - APP_URL=http://IP_ADDRESS:8000

Is there a reason pocketbase doesn't see this environment variable ? When I echo from inside the container it's the right value, but in mail templates pocketbase keeps using localhost:8090

Issue with migrate collections

Hi and thank you for making it easy to deploy Pocketbase with Docker.

I have run into a slight issue which I can only replicate when running Pocketbase in a Docker container using your image. I've replicated this on multiple versions including the latest 0.18.10.

When running pocketbase migrate collections (either in Docker desktop or using docker compose exec -it pocketbase sh -c "/usr/local/bin/pocketbase migrate collections"), I get this error: Failed to fetch migrations list: SQL logic error: no such table: _collections (1)

As said, this does not happen if I just download the executable and perform the same command. I'm not sure whether this is even an issue with your image, but perhaps you or someone here might know how to solve it.

Can't Submit Most Forms

When I try to update SMTP, Application Settings, or add an Auth Provider, I get a generic error An error occurred while submitting the form.

Forgive my newbie-ness, but I don't see any errors in container log - should I be looking somewhere else?

[FEAT] Apply migrations

Is there a straight forward way to apply initial migrations on startup? Thank you.

I saw this but am not quite sure how to do it with the docker-compose?
