Trying to get this working in azure app service is painful

[craftzneko]

Trying to get this hosted in azure app service as a docker compose option have hit numerous issues. As AAS doesnt like anchors in docker compose i had to run them seperatly, does this cause problems. I seem to be getting this issue, i have no idea how to solve in the worker and housekeeping containers

2023-08-17T12:09:07.599421569Z File "/etc/netbox/config/configuration.py", line 45, in
2023-08-17T12:09:07.599425270Z _AS_INT = lambda value : int(value)
2023-08-17T12:09:07.599428870Z ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

My docker compose looks like this

version: '3.4'

services:
  netbox:
    image: netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
    depends_on:
    - redis
    - redis-cache
    user: 'unit:root'
    healthcheck:
      start_period: 60s
      timeout: 3s
      interval: 15s
      test: "curl -f http://localhost:8080/api/ || exit 1"
    volumes:
    - ${WEBAPP_STORAGE_HOME}/./configuration:/etc/netbox/config
    - netbox-media-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/media
    - netbox-reports-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/reports
    - netbox-scripts-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/scripts

  netbox-worker:
    image: netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
    depends_on:
      netbox:
        condition: service_healthy
    command:
    - /opt/netbox/venv/bin/python
    - /opt/netbox/netbox/manage.py
    - rqworker
    healthcheck:
      start_period: 20s
      timeout: 3s
      interval: 15s
      test: "ps -aux | grep -v grep | grep -q rqworker || exit 1"

  netbox-housekeeping:
    image: netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
    depends_on:
      netbox:
        condition: service_healthy
    command:
    - /opt/netbox/housekeeping.sh
    healthcheck:
      start_period: 20s
      timeout: 3s
      interval: 15s
      test: "ps -aux | grep -v grep | grep -q housekeeping || exit 1"

Left out the redis as they come up fine

The worker and housekeeping containers need the same volumes as the web container.
The error message is about converting an empty string into an integer. That probably is caused by an empty environment variable.

[craftzneko]

Perfect i will set the volumes up and try and find the missing variable

Thanks @tobiasge i have added volumes now. Container still goes down though, i dont see any errors other than this, but another issue posted here suggested that on first run this may happen and can be ignored

Can i just confirm that netbox listens by default on port 8080

[tobiasge]

Nginx Unit in the containers listens on 8080. But you need the port entry in your docker-compose setup to map it to a host port. See the example file. In this example file you will also find an explantation and fix for longer start up times.
