New install of Gramps Web docker does not display first run wizard

Karsid · November 13, 2025, 11:58am

Created a fresh RaspberryPI install and followed the docker instructions and all went ok apart from the first run wizard not running and it not asking to create users etc. So had to manually log into the image and run the add user command to create an owner and all is working as expected now and I am able to log in and sync trees to the instance.

Below is current versions I am running.

Gramps 6.0.5
Gramps Web API 3.4.1
Gramps Web Frontend 25.10.2
Gramps QL 0.4.0
Sifts 1.1.0
locale: en
multi-tree: false
task queue: true
OCR: true
chat: false

Can you share your docker-compose with secrets redacted? Did you record logs while it wasn’t working as expected?

Its easy enough to recreate as just create a new docker image.

I am fairly competent in unix admin and programming so happy to do any testing or getting extra debug.

Below is my docker compose file (copy of the default file apart from ngrok service included):

$ cat docker-compose.yml

Why did you add

entrypoint: []

Is this from one of our example compose files?

By removing the entrypoint, you are removing the automated alembic migration that creates/migrates the user database, so the error you get is about that schema missing.

Ah ok that that explains the first run wizard not running issue. I found that line when I was seeing if there was a way to get rid of the Gtk-CRITICAL messages on startup and found the below thread:

I'm trying to setup a Multi-Tree installation with Docker and followed the instr…uctions at https://www.grampsweb.org/Deployment/, but starting the grampsweb container fails with this error message: ``` /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/gramps/plugins/tool/check.py:51: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first.

Where should I have setup the tree, that's mentioned in the error message? Thanks in advance for the support!

So did some tests and without that line I get the following lines at the start of the logs:

$ docker compose logs grampsweb
grampsweb-1 |
grampsweb-1 | (main.py:7): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:16:18.669: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion ‘GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)’ failed

grampsweb-1 | [2025-11-16 14:16:20 +0000] [9] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 23.0.0

and if I add the line the first error went away so I left it in.

grampsweb-1 | [2025-11-16 14:20:24 +0000] [7] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 23.0.0

Since all worked as expected with the line in and it removed a couple of seeming error messages I just left it in.

Sorry for the noise and will remove it from my install notes
