Mautic seems to reinstall intself after taking pod down

[aleskinen]

I have tried both with whole html as persistent, and suggested config/logs/media. If I only use recommended folders, mautic seems to redirect forever. I I'll use whole html as persistent, it will reinstall itself after every deployment. I am using apache version. If I take tar of html and restore it after deployment works, but still gets reinstalled. How to stop mautic from reinstalling itself after deployment? I am using current apache version 5 from docker hub.

I can confirm 100% you are correct and i'm using Podman. I fought this for literally 20 hours. What happened was this:

WHAT WAS HAPPENING

Everything went well on initial podman-compose up -d command but here is the flow of what I did and where I finally got stumped:

podman stop webserver <- simply stopped container
localhost:8890 <-test connection - dead as expected (webserver is down)
podman-compose up -d <- was expecting this to create a problem like before, but it didnt...
localhost:8890 <-test connection - worked as expected
podman stop mysql <-simply stopped the database container
localhost:8890 <- test connection, dead as expected (db down)
podman-compose up-d <- was expecting fail, but again it worked, no data lost
localhost:8890 <-test connection - worked as expected
podman-compose down <- tears down BOTH containers to the ground
podman-compose up -d <- Build both containers back up (they are both in same podman-compose.yaml file) - starts up BOTH containers
localhost:8890 <- Test connection. Back to the initial installer / db connection page. After running through install page and connecting to database again with same credentials, no data is found, all data is lost.

When I ran podman volume ls I would have the two named volumes and 3 random hash-like volumes which were not able to keep any of the configs, logs, etc, effectively killing the persistence of the container.

SOLUTION

final solution was from a wonderful community member in the podman community matrix group who gave me this to add to my compose.yml file:

mautic:
  volumes:
    - mautic_config:/var/www/html/config
    - mautic_logs:/var/www/html/var/logs
    - mautic_media:/var/www/html/docroot/media
volumes:
  mautic_config:
  mautic_logs:
  mautic_media:

By adding these three extra volumes which mautic requires, everything now works as expected.

I can now do both podman-compose up -d and podman-compose down and everything goes up and down again with persistence.
