SeAT - forum: service "front" is not running - Page 1

Hey guys, this may be an incredibly dumb question. I have SeAT running on docker in Fedora, and the service itself runs fine, however I'm trying to create an admin login with 'docker compose exec front php artisan seat:admin:login' (I have already put my directory into /opt/seat-docker/) and when I run the command I get 'service "front" is not running'. I'm not sure if this is because the container is currently not running (it won't let me use the terminal when the container is running) and I could use some assistance in figuring out how to get this setup. Thank you!

Well it means exactly what it says: the front container (which runs the Laravel app) isn’t currently running when you run the php artisan command.

any more info on what docker u have etc

it might be SELinux blocking it as well

at the moment what you could try and what I can think of is

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.mariadb.yml -f docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d && \
sleep 120 && \
docker compose exec front php artisan seat:admin:login

where 120 is in seconds... if your server is slow on booting and needs more time you can adjust this in seconds. That does 2 commands with a simple timeout between them. if you want you could work on a script that automatically detects when SeAT is actually ready without any waiting to execute the second command.

obviously if u run custom css for seat u need to change the first part of the command to adjust override stuff.
