Nginx welcome page instead of invoice ninja

kamcio · January 26, 2025, 9:35am

Good morning everyone,

Until today, I’ve never spent so much time trying to install something…
I’ve installed Invoice Ninja on my Synology NAS using Docker (via Portainer), but I’m facing an issue. Instead of seeing the Invoice Ninja interface, I’m constantly redirected to the Nginx welcome page.

The Nginx logs don’t show any errors or anything that indicates what might be wrong.
Could you please take a look at my configuration and help me resolve this issue?

My NAS IP: 192.168.178.10
Portainer: 192.168.178.10:9000

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Kamil

Hi,

Maybe the info here will help:

github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles

Only see NGINX default page after docker-compose up

opened 03:50AM - 17 Aug 20 UTC

closed 07:34AM - 18 Aug 20 UTC

gururise

need feedback

Following directions for alpine-4 and NGINX, after installation, I only see the …default "WELCOME TO NGINX" screen. I used the following docker-compose file and after docker-compose up I see the following error indicating the ninja4_cron container failed... ``` OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "exec: \"bash\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown ``` docker-compose file: ``` version: '3.7' services: server: image: nginx:alpine restart: always environment: - APP_URL=http://invoice.mydomain.com volumes: # Vhost configuration - ./config/nginx/in-vhost.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/in-vhost.conf:ro # Configure your mounted directories, make sure the folder 'public' and 'storage' # exist, before mounting them - public:/var/www/app/public - storage:/var/www/app/storage # you may use a bind-mounted host directory instead, so that it is harder to accidentally remove the volume and los> #- ./docker/app/public:/var/www/app/public:rw,delegated #- ./docker/app/storage:/var/www/app/storage:rw,delegated depends_on: - app # Run webserver nginx on port 80 # Feel free to modify depending what port is already occupied #ports: # - "8105:80" # - "443:443" expose: - 80 networks: - invoiceninja app: image: invoiceninja/invoiceninja:alpine-4 restart: always environment: - APP_URL=http://invoice.mydomain.com - APP_KEY=hmoDudEqHBxrOE/iKNC3ig3oT9mxJQS8Invmx4i7pdg= - MULTI_DB_ENABLED=false - DB_HOST1=db volumes: # Configure your mounted directories, make sure the folder 'public' and 'storage' # exist, before mounting them - public:/var/www/app/public - storage:/var/www/app/storage # you may use a bind-mounted host directory instead, so that it is harder to accidentally remove the volume and los> #- ./docker/app/public:/var/www/app/public:rw,delegated #- ./docker/app/storage:/var/www/app/storage:rw,delegated depends_on: - db networks: - invoiceninja db: image: mysql:5 restart: always environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=ninjaAdm1nPassword - MYSQL_USER=ninja - MYSQL_PASSWORD=ninja - MYSQL_DATABASE=db-ninja-01 volumes: - mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql:rw # you may use a bind-mounted host directory instead, so that it is harder to accidentally remove the volume and los> #- ./docker/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql:rw,delegated networks: - invoiceninja cron: image: invoiceninja/invoiceninja:alpine-4 volumes: - storage:/var/www/app/storage - logo:/var/www/app/public/logo - public:/var/www/app/public entrypoint: | bash -c 'bash -s <<EOF trap "break;exit" SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM sleep 300s while /bin/true; do ./artisan ninja:send-invoices ./artisan ninja:send-reminders sleep 1d done EOF' networks: - invoiceninja volumes: mysql-data: public: storage: logo: networks: invoiceninja: ```

Thank you, @hillel, for your quick response. I’ve already found the topic, but I don’t quite understand how it could help me. The “base64” is there, and the solution with the cron seems to apply only to version 4.

I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but my Portainer IP is 192.168.178.10:9000. Here’s a screenshot of the IPs for Invoice Ninja and the other services.
