Frequent installation problems➧

docker-compose-plugin not installed➧

Usually the error looks like this:

Issue

docker-compose must be installed on your system specifically as a plugin for Docker, rather than as a standalone utility.

Solution:

  1. Install the docker-compose-plugin package for your operating system (refer to the installation instructions in the official Docker documentation.
  2. Verify its functionality by running the command docker compose version, which should return the plugin version.
  3. Proceed with the WildcoreDMS installation by executing sudo wca-tool update.

Network errors may manifest as Connection refused,Connection timeout, or Forbidden entries in the logs.

Solution:

  1. Examine the logs to pinpoint the problematic connection attempt.
  2. Confirm the existence of the target address on the server (for HTTP, try the same curl).
  3. If the response is valid, investigate your Docker setup.

Refer to the official Docker documentation for detailed instructions. Ensure compatibility with your OS version as per the documentation or that no older versions are present.

Once the issue is resolved, you can proceed by executing the wca-tool update command.

Web panel malfunctions or wca command errors➧

Solution:

Utilize the docker ps -a command to see the currently running containers.

Inspect the logs with docker logs ... for containers showing errors.
