Error during Docker Compose execution

Error: Error during docker compose execution. Please check permissions and try again.

  • This error typically occurs when the user doesn’t have sudo or root privileges. To resolve this, ensure you’re logged in as the root user or as a user with sudo access before attempting the installation again.

  • The issue may also be caused by using the older version of Docker Compose docker-compose. To fix this, install the latest version of Docker Compose docker compose and make sure the old version is removed.

Migrator container exited

Error: plane-migrator-1 container exited with status 1

This error typically occurs if you have configured an external database that is running on localhost. Since the connection is being attempted from inside the container, localhost won’t work, as the database is not running within the container.

To resolve this issue, ensure that the database is hosted on a network-accessible server rather than localhost. Update the database URL to reflect the correct server address. See how to configure external db.
