OpenDocMan 2.0.2 has been released.
this is the first update seen in many years - so Yay! I have attempted to follow the directions in the readme that tells how to set up via docker. I get to the point where I can bring up the web login page… and it promptly tells me that it cant find my datadir. I have not been successful in getting that resolved by following the directions or searching the web. How do I get this working?
Ok, redid the whole install using quick start directions and using docker compose vs make, here are my steps. End result - getting token error, ODM doesnt work. Is something missing from the quickstart? Did I miss something in the quickstart?

Next Steps:
1. Review and customize additional settings in .env if needed

3. Access your application at: http://localhost:8080
4. Login with username: admin and your generated password
Setup complete! 🚀
==========================
Went to http://<ip addr of vm>, go this (normal so far):
Welcome to OpenDocMan. Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.
Database name
Database username
Database password
Database host
Table prefix (if you want to run more than one OpenDocMan in a single database)
You will also need to create a directory (your "dataDir") where you plan to store your uploaded files on the server. This directory must be writable by the web server but preferably NOT inside your public html folder. The main reason for locating the folder outside or your web document root is so that people won't be able to guess at a URL to directly access your files, bypassing the access restrictions that OpenDocMan puts in place.
You can update your web server configuration file to prevent visitors from browsing your files directly.
<Directory "/path/to/your/documents/dataDir">
Deny all
</Directory>
Or For newer version of apache
<Directory "/path/to/your/documents/dataDir">
Deny From all
</Directory>
Or don't put your dataDir directory in the web space at all.
Or in a .htaccess file in the dataDir directory:
order allow,deny
deny from all
If for any reason this automatic file creation doesn't work, don't worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open config-sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as configs/config.php and import the database.sql file into your database.
clicked the "lets go" button.
===============================
got screen with db name, pw, etc.
db name: opendocman
username: opendocman
password: <pw>
db host: removed "db", entered vm IP, port
table prefix: odm_
admin pw:<pw>
data dir: /var/www/document_repository, verified to exist via shell on docker image.
clicked on submit
====================================
get the "run install button", all looks ok so far. clicked it.
======================================
get the ODM installer/updater tool.
Link for directions. clicking it results in: 404 page not found
msg about backing up data. no data to backup, fresh install.
Clicked: Click here to set up db for v2.0.2 release of ODM
get: are you sur prompt, only use this for fresh install (this is fresh install)
clicked ok
Get: checking..., installing..., db created. Installation complete msg.
Clicked: configure site settings button
Get login screen
Logged in (firefox browser) with username, pw that was set up.
get: security token validation failed. Please try again.
Tried again with chrome, same result.
Did a: make logs - but nothing displayed.
Make sure your config.php has your hostname as IPADDR:PORT (8080?)
looking at the config.php file, I see the db name, username, pw and db IP:PORT (3306) info. I dont see anything for port 8080 nor anything where that would be set in the config.php file.
define('APP_DB_NAME', getenv('APP_DB_NAME') ? getenv('APP_DB_NAME') : '<db is here>');
/** MySQL database username */
define('APP_DB_USER', getenv('APP_DB_USER') ? getenv('APP_DB_USER') : '<username is here>');
/** MySQL database password */
define('APP_DB_PASS', getenv('APP_DB_PASS') ? getenv('APP_DB_PASS') : '<pw is here>');
/** MySQL hostname */
/* The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. "hostname;port=3306" or a path to a
* local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost. */
define('APP_DB_HOST', getenv('APP_DB_HOST') ? getenv('APP_DB_HOST') : '<ip is here>;port=3306');
if I go to http:// < my ip is here > :8080, I do get the login page. When I enter the username/pw, thats when I get: Security token validation failed. Please try again.
