Can't start in Docker desktop

[ellipsis-apps]

I'm running on windows 11 Home version. I have Docker Desktop installed.
I have the config files installed in a directory named "c:\RunDocker\MySuperToDo"
I have not modified the .json or compose.yaml files
I have not downloaded the litegraph.db file.

When I run compose-up.bat, the latest image is downloaded and run but litegraph won't start. The data that shows in the console is:

 ✔ Container litegraph  Created                                                                                                                            0.1s

How can I fix this?

Hi @ellipsis-apps can you download the litegraph.db file from the repo here? Alternatively, you can clone source, dotnet build, go into litegraph.server\bin\Debug\net10.0, run LiteGraph.Server and copy the resultant litegraph.db into your docker directory.

Also, if you started LiteGraph using docker compose WITHOUT having the litegraph.db file there, Docker may have created a shadow directory in its place called litegraph.db that you'll need to delete before you copy the litegraph.db file into the directory. Best way to do it is just clone the repo, then go into docker and compose-up.bat.

Thanks.

Copying the litegraph.db file solved that issue.

Does that mean the database can only be called litegraph.db? What if I want multiple databases? And a different encrpytion key for each database?

Each instance of LiteGraph has its own singular litegraph.db file. The filename can be configured in the Database section in litegraph.json alongside the encryption material. It's one configuration per instance of LiteGraph (today).

  "LiteGraph": {
    "AdminBearerToken": "litegraphadmin",
    "GraphRepositoryFilename": "litegraph.db",
    "MaxConcurrentOperations": 4,
    "InMemory": false
  },
  "Encryption": {
    "Key": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
    "Iv": "00000000000000000000000000000000"
  },
