[SOLVED] Initial mattermost setup - psql errors: relation X does not exist

Hi,

I’m running into some trouble while trying to set-up a mattermost server with Gitlab oauth.
Gitlab runs on a bare system, mattermost and psql each in their own docker containers.

I’m getting the exact same errors as shown here: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/2478 However, the `solution´ does not seem to work for me.

tried mattermost 3.0.3 in combination with gitlab 8.8 and psql 9.5 and 9.6.

How can I continue debugging this in order to make it work?

kind regards,
Chris

Relevant parts of mattermost dockerfile:
RUN wget https://releases.mattermost.com/3.0.3/mattermost-team-3.0.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
ENTRYPOINT ["/opt/mattermost/bin/platform","-config=/opt/mattermost/config/config.json"]

psql container
see https://github.com/docker-library/postgres.git
The only addition I made was to create the user/database + privileges which are being used in the config.json from mattermost.

Hi @crucidal,

Can you provide the full errors that you get? Or are you missing the ‘Type’ column for the ‘Preference’ table just like in that GitHub issue?

I am getting the same errors. It appears that the database is not being created?

I am using mattermost-docker:

git clone https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-docker
cd mattermost-docker
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker logs mattermost_db_1

I am able to reproduce it on more than one host. :confused:

Hi Jwil,

Sorry for the fact that I didn’t respond in such a long time!
The issue is still relevant for me so here’s the full errors that I’m seeing:

Currently I’m on mattermost version 3.3.0.
The fact that I’m using Oauth does not seem to make a difference. (the errors also occur when I start a completely new mattermost instance + new DB with oauth disabled)

It seems like mattermost is not properly populating the empty database and tries to query for non-existing relations.
The question is: How do I fix this? :slight_smile:

edit: The preview properly shows my errors embedded in a “details” section but the actual post does not.
Sorry if I messed up :o

Kind Regards,
Chris

Have you tried following the steps in the install guide (this is for Ubuntu but we have other install guides in the sidebar)? I just ran through them and they worked for me when setting up a postrgres database.

The only minor issue I had was setting:
local all all peer
to:
local all all md5
under the local connections section in my /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf file, since I was running the postgres box off my localhost.

Same issue here? [Solved] PostgreSQL error after Mattermost upgrade from 3.2.0 to 3.4.0: some relation does not exist
