Is github pull safe for docker-compose?

Hey there!

Is it necessary or even usefull and exspecially safe to update the docker-compose-directory by pulling via github?

I think I did that once, but usually I only update Invoice Ninja by doing a docker-compose pull.

Greetings!

Hi,

I believe docker-compose pull is the right approach.

Hi, @hillel,

thanks for always responding imediately!

Well, I know that this is the right approach to update IN as it is the mentioned way.

I’m afraid I did not pointed my “problem” out.

As I wrote in another topic, I have problems with some features of Invoice Ninja, such as new expenses are always marked as payed, when I create them with the Flutter-web-app or even the Flutter-based Flatpak-desktop-app. Another Issue is the creating of templates.

So, there are two may-be-causes I can imagine: 1. one is that I use MariaDB instead of MySQL. 2. one may be that I once did a github-pull-update of the docker-files-directory of my Invoice-Ninja-root-folder.

So I just want to make clear, if it’s safe or not to update that last mentioned folder by using github pull.

Greetings!

Hi,

Have you checked the default settings on Settings > Expense Settings?

Of course. It does not change anything in the Flutter-apps. On React-web-app however it works. :-/

And on my test-installation (using MySQL) it works fine.

Can you please clarify, are you saying on one server it works in the Flutter app and on another server it doesn’t?

Exactly! Both (Docker-) servers are built from one image. One is just in use within the LAN, the other in the DMZ.

I’m not sure, we’d need steps to replicate to debug the problem

I know, we already were at this point. But I cannot say how to reproduce the issue, because I don’t know what’s it’s cause.
