Common issues

Windows

Installation fails with "Microsoft Visual C++" error

If your installation errors with a notification to upgrade "Microsoft Visual C++" go to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ and click "Download Build Tools" and run it.

  • During installation make sure you select the C++ development package (upper left corner)
  • Run reinstall.bat inside talemate directory

Docker

Docker has created config.yaml directory

If you do not copy the example config to config.yaml before running docker compose up docker will create a config directory in the root of the project. This will cause the backend to fail to start.

This happens because we mount the config file directly as a docker volume, and if it does not exist docker will create a directory with the same name.

This will eventually be fixed, for now please make sure to copy the example config file before running the docker compose command.

General

Running behind reverse proxy with ssl

Personally i have not been able to make this work yet, but its on my list, issue stems from some vue oddities when specifying the base urls while running in a dev environment. I expect once i start building the project for production this will be resolved.

If you do make it work, please reach out to me so i can update this documentation.
