Original stackfile

The compose file this template deploys, straight from its repo:

services:
    gathio:
        build: .
        links:
            - mongo
        ports:
            - 3022:3000
    mongo:
        image: mongo:latest
        volumes:
             - /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/gathio/mongodb_data_db:/data/db

Or deploy it directly from the source:

git clone https://github.com/xneo1/portainer_templates
cd portainer_templates
docker compose -f Template/Stack/gathio.yml up -d

Container Documentation

mongo Documentation

MongoDB document databases provide high availability and easy scalability.

Serve Gathio on your own domain behind Caddy, Nginx or Traefik. Fill in your domain and copy the result. It's a starting point, some apps need their own base URL or extra headers set too.

Proxying gathio.example.com to http://gathio:3000

Add this to your Caddyfile

gathio.example.com {
	reverse_proxy http://gathio:3000
}

Check the logs first

Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.

  • In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run docker logs <container>
  • Exit codes help too: 137 means killed, usually out of memory. 126 or 127 means the command inside the image is broken.

Port already in use

If deployment fails with "Bind for 0.0.0.0:3022 failed: port is already allocated", something else on your server is using that port.

  • Find what's using it: sudo ss -tlnp | grep :3022
  • Stop the other service, or pick a different host port. In 3022:3000 only the left number is yours to change, the right one belongs to the app.

Running but the page won't load

The container is up but nothing appears in your browser.

  • Use your server's real IP: http://your-server-ip:3022. The 0.0.0.0 link Portainer shows isn't a real address.
  • Give it a minute after first deploy, gathio can take a while to initialise.
  • Make sure your firewall allows the port, e.g. sudo ufw allow 3022

Permission denied on volumes

If the logs show "permission denied", the app can't write to its data folder on the host.

  • Fix the ownership: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/gathio/mongodb_data_db

Image won't pull

Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull mongo:latest

  • "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses latest, so try pinning a specific version instead.
  • "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with docker login to raise it.
  • "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with docker system prune

"exec format error"

This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.

  • Check yours with uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.

Stack won't deploy

Compose stacks fail fast on small mistakes, and Portainer shows the reason just above the editor.

  • YAML only accepts spaces for indentation, a single tab breaks the whole file.

Raise an issue

Found something which isn't working as it should? Here's how to report it.

A Compose stack

Gathio is a Compose stack, a set of containers (2 of them) defined in one file and brought up together by Portainer, then started and stopped as a single app.

The services

This stack is built from 2 containers that run side by side. Here's each one, with the image it runs and anything it waits for first:

  • gathio
  • mongo runs mongo:latest

Ports

A port is the door the app answers on. A mapping like 3022:3000 means it's reachable on port 3022 of your server, where the left number is yours to change and the right one belongs to the app. Once it's running, open http://your-server-ip:3022 in a browser. It opens:

  • 3022:3000, likely the web interface

Volumes

A volume is where Gathio keeps its files so they survive an update or a restart. Without one, anything it saves would sit inside the container and vanish the moment it's recreated. This template mounts:

  • /data/db from /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/gathio/mongodb_data_db on the host

Networking

Portainer puts these services on one shared private network, so they can find each other by name (like gathio) while only the ports above are open to you.

Platform

The platform is linux, the kind of system the container is built to run on. Docker and Portainer handle this on a normal Linux server.

Portainer app templates

Zooming out, this whole page comes from a Portainer app template: a short recipe telling Portainer how to set Gathio up. Add the template list to Portainer once, then deploying Gathio is a click rather than a wall of config.
