So, after finishing the setup, even though all the containers are running, Iโm getting an error stating that data is not being sent to the webpage. Sometimes it opens the Payara terminal, and other times it opens the Dataverse page with a 404 error. Can someone help me out with this?
Hi @Parth karalkar how much RAM does your DV container have?
What you're describing is often related to memory pressure for the JVM
It has 4 GB of RAM
Any solution on that?
4G should be more than sufficient, at least it usually is for me. Are there any patterns emerging from the dataverse or configbaker container logs?
Also happy to continue this convo tomorrow - I'm at a conference but at least only 4.5 hours away from your timezone :wink:
Yess sure
@Parth karalkar and patterns in the logs?
If you see Flyway/EclipseLink spit out a long list of duplicated key warnings, unfortunately this is expected and due to the mess we still have in how we configure and rule the ORM. (Long standing tech debt there...)
Also: where are you running this? Win+WSL, Mac, Linux? What are you using as your container runtime?
Yess it's giving me long list of key warning and all this i was doing on win+wsl
Your container runtime is Docker, right? Not Podman or whatever else.
yes
like its showing soo many container is running and showing warnings too
Let's see. I'm on Mac and Oliver is on Linux. @Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva you added WSL instructions in #11604. Any advice? @Victoria Lubitch are you still using the "classic" env we talked about in #10608?
okay i'm also trying again
Great. We do very much want to improve the developer experience on Windows. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Windows machine. You're following https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.9/developers/windows.html , right? If you see any typos or other stuff to improve, the source is doc/sphinx-guides/source/developers/windows.rst.
okay I'll see to it
(Side note here: my trainee will probably use Win + WSL + Rancher Desktop for coding going forward. Might learn a few bits from that as well)

Unfortunately that's just the bootstrapping process waiting for Dataverse to be available.
So these messages are expected. Are you seeing a message about a wait timeout or a success message from this container?
(docker logs dev_bootstrap gives you only the logs from that container.)
After sometime it's shows timeout time exceed
Yes, it gives up after a while. The timeout is configurable.
Ohhh so how to fix that??
https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.9/container/running/demo.html#bootstrapping-did-not-complete
Even after trying this solution many times, it's still not working. It keeps opening the Payara Admin panel instead of the Dataverse project.
Bah. Do you want to work on client code instead?
Does it make any difference??
Well, sure. I mean you could work on pyDataverse, for example. It's Python code that interacts with the Dataverse API.
You wouldn't have to run Dataverse. You could just point have your Python code interact with https://demo.dataverse.org
Does that make sense?
Iโd be happy to contribute to that as well. I think we should bring this up during the developer meeting; we might find a solution there. Iโve also been thinking about how we can improve the documentation and better structure our developer section UI. Sounds good??
Yes! Absolutely! I do want to talk about this at our next container meeting. We had to push it out two weeks. Please see #containers > meetings.
And yes, absolutely, let's improve docs as well.
I just added to the agenda for the next container meeting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mCgLpIP00BkDr1VFtD-2OgDSmi3We2BGpgiKYrZbRpM/edit?usp=sharing
@Parth karalkar I'll DM you about other stuff you might be able to work on
Sure Philip
Any work in doc??
