🐛 Bug Report: Novu not working properly in the docker/community docker compose file.

[Harmeet10000]

📜 Description

After setting up a local community edition environment using the official Docker instructions, any operation performed on the main dashboard after logging in results in a generic error message: "Sorry, but something went wrong."

Specifically, this occurs when trying to create a new workflow, add a subscriber, or perform any other main action. The browser's developer console shows two key errors:

Immediately after login: GET http://:3000/v1/organizations/me 422 (Unprocessable Entity)

When performing an action: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'request')

The provided Event ID for the error is 105be025e75444608f08eb65fcae3bfa.

👟 Reproduction steps

1. After setting up a local community edition environment using the official Docker instructions, any operation performed on the main dashboard after logging in results in a generic error message: "Sorry, but something went wrong."
2. Specifically, this occurs when trying to create a new workflow, add a subscriber, or perform any other main action. The browser's developer console shows two key errors:
3. Immediately after login: GET http://:3000/v1/organizations/me 422 (Unprocessable Entity)
4. When performing an action: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'request')
5. The provided Event ID for the error is 105be025e75444608f08eb65fcae3bfa.

👍 Expected behavior

The application should function correctly after a fresh installation. I expected to be able to create new workflows, add subscribers, and use the platform's features without encountering API or client-side errors. The GET /v1/organizations/me call should succeed and return the organization details.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

The application displays an error banner with the message:
"Sorry, but something went wrong. Please contact our support team and provide the event id for the reference. Event Id: 105be025e75444608f08eb65fcae3bfa."

The browser console shows:

index-CkK80rBX.js:141 GET http://3.110.201.118:3000/v1/organizations/me 422 (Unprocessable Entity)

A subsequent TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'request') when an action is triggered.
sadly i turned the EC2 off and i cant get the dashboard so cant upload the Screenshot.

Novu version

The latest version from the main branch, as installed via git clone --depth 1 on the day of this report.

npm version

N/A - The application is running within the provided Docker containers, not on a local Node installation. The versions are those specified in the project's Dockerfile.

node version

N/A - The application is running within the provided Docker containers. The version is determined by the project's Dockerfile.

📃 Provide any additional context for the Bug.

The root cause appears to be the failing API call to /v1/organizations/me. Because this call fails with a 422 Unprocessable Entity error, the frontend application likely doesn't receive the necessary organization context. This causes subsequent operations (like creating a workflow) to fail with a TypeError because the data they depend on is undefined. The issue seems to be with the initial organization setup or data retrieval immediately after user creation.
