couple things

[cirrusflyer]

I installed this today. It's very nice. Is it possible to use proper docker compose installation code and use of environmental variables vs "command" strings? Also, with the current Docker installation, it seems to ignore the "--adminName" and uses the "acme" default. Also, this page on your website yields a 404: https://www.vinceanalytics.com/guides/general/goal-conversions

Yes, I actually recommend environment variables and I use them in production.

Where did you find that link? Actual goals conversions link is https://www.vinceanalytics.com/blog/goals-conversions/

Sorry, the umami comment arrived earlier without context.

Back to env var issue, was my explanation useful?

[cirrusflyer]

No worries. And yes, I'll start using the env variables in my docker compose setup. Thanks

[cirrusflyer]

Sorry for the trouble, but I'm still not able to get the environmental variables working correctly. Can I do something like this?:

environment:
  - VINCE_ADMIN_NAME=admin
  - VINCE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Some-Password
  - VINCE_DOMAINS=example.com
  - VINCE_URL=https://webstats.example.com

Ca n you expand on this more ? Like does vince crash or something?

The env vars looks good to me, and should work. You can provide details like

• what you expect vs what you see
• vince version , the os you are deploying etc

Using Docker on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It immediately crashes when I change my current setup that's using this:

services:
vince:
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
- ./vince-data:/vince-data
image: ghcr.io/vinceanalytics/vince
command: serve --adminName admin --adminPassword
Some-Password --domains example.com --url
https://webstats.example.com
networks: {}

To this:

services:
vince:
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
- ./vince-data:/vince-data
image: ghcr.io/vinceanalytics/vince
environment:
- VINCE_ADMIN_NAME=admin
- VINCE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Some-Password
- VINCE_DOMAINS=example.com
- VINCE_URL=https://webstats.example.com
networks: {}

command: serve 

is missing on new setup. Don't pass the flags, since you are using env vars now.

Thanks!

Also, when you have more than one website you're tracking, and you go to one of the sites stats, you have a pulldown to switch between sites. There's a "Site Settings" gear there and when you select it, it takes you to: "https://webstats.example.com/example.com/settings/general" which is a broken link. I've attached your site for reference of where to find the pull down. But you only have a single site. I have two.

[cirrusflyer]

It's working with the "command: serve" now. Thanks for catching that. But it's still ignoring the:

• VINCE_ADMIN_NAME=admin

The user still shows "acme". It does take the custom password correctly though.
