Hi guys,

I am trying to install metashfresh docker on centos 7. My docker and docker-compose are running fine.
I know system requirement for normal metasfresh installation is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (x86_64) but I thought as long as you can have docker and docker-compose on any machine running metashfresh should be fine.

I recieve the error below when i try to execute docker-compose up -d. Please let me know if you have any idea about how to fix this.

[root@hector metasfresh-docker]# docker-compose up -d

hi,

afaik this part in docker compose file might not work on non Ubuntu Distributions:

    - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro

@julian.bischof can you confirm ?

cheers,
Norbert

@rajan_jain

As @metasnw said - some volume-mounts are not available for all distributions.

In your case, it looks like /etc/timezone does not exist on the dockerhost.
You should be able to start your docker-compose project by commenting out/removing the lines containing /etc/timezone.

You can leave in /etc/localtime.

Cheers.

@metasnw @julian.bischof

Thanks a lot guys…
yeah I removed this /etc/timezone from docker-compose.yml and everything seems fine now.

Thanks
