OpenPanel starts, OpenAdmin works, but OpenPanel docker won't start

jimcarroll

Trying out OpenPanel after using CloudPanel and others; liking what i see. But an initial install on Ubuntu 22.04 results in this error, with OpenPanel docker service not running: "Error: Error response from daemon: No such container: openpanel
Error: failed to start containers: openpanel" . Same error starting DNS service. "Error: Error response from daemon: No such container: openpanel_dns
Error: failed to start containers: openpanel_dns"

Openpanel_dns make sure bind/named isn't running on the host machine. as for openpanel check the logs see what it's saying.

Logs don't show anything. This is a brand new, fresh install, didn't change a thing. Have tried it a few times.

jimcarroll this is expected.

We do not start OpenPanel service automatically until you create first user, as soon as you do that OpenPanel will start.
Also for DNS and Nginx, they dont start either until there are domains: when user adds first domain.

Please add a user and domain, then let me know if any problems starting services.

I will better document this in order to avoid confusion.

I've added ? status with tooltip for those services that auto-start when needed.

Links to the docs page: https://openpanel.com/docs/articles/dev-experience/autostart-services#auto-start-services-in-openadmin

and clicking 'Start' for such service will check if already installed, if not, install it first before starting.
