Failed Installation of grampsweb on vps with portainer. please help

Gramps Web
1

I just tried to install grampsweb on a vps with portainer.

It keeps restarting.

Does anyone know what I have done wrong?

This is part of the logging:

My guess is a race condition between celery and flask, check if your celery container has depends_on as in our docs. Also make sure the volumes are empty and do not contain a partially initialized database from a previous attempt.

Thanks David,

A new operating system and docker compose did the trick. Everything is working fine now.
