Timezones wont enable
Just installed the latest docker image and cannot seem to get the time zones function to enable. found the mariadb did not have time zone tables at all so i created the tables and populated them, and I have the time zone set in the environment variables, but glpi still says time zones are not enabled run the php command "php bin/console database:enable_timezones" to enable. however i cannot find how to run this in docker.
any suggestions?
Hello,
To run the command in your GLPI docker container, you can use the following:
docker exec <YOUR GLPI CONTAINER> 'php bin/console database:enable_timezones'
I'm new to glpi and docker. Have everything up and running using portainer to create compose. Tried above command but getting error that file does not exist. im guessing it's not in standard volume. Any tips or suggestions on how to find right place to run command?
The bin folder is in the glpi folder. By default, the location is /var/www/html/glpi.
Maybe you need to set the full path to execute the command
docker exec <YOUR GLPI CONTAINER> '/var/www/html/glpi/bin/console database:enable_timezones'
@DiouxX: the Problem, at least for me, is that the Container crashes immediately when encountering the Error (running with Podman 5.5.2 on Fedora 42 AMD64):

I think I'm actually using the "Official" Image (glpi/glpi:latest) and not yours, but I guess they behave in a similar Way.
So I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to run the Command, when the Container is up for less than a Fraction of a Second:
podman@HOST:~/containers/quadlets/glpi$ podman exec -it glpi-server /bin/bash
Error: no container with name or ID "glpi-server" found: no such container
