Prosody was unable to find the configuration file.

Procedures to replicate on Ubuntu 20.04 server:

1. git pull
2. cp env.example .env
3. ./gen-passwords.sh
4. mkdir -p ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/{web/letsencrypt,transcripts,prosody/config,prosody/prosody-plugins-custom,jicofo,jvb,jigasi,jibri}
5. docker-compose up

and you find yourself with loops of jicofo crashing and prosody telling:

prosody_1  | Prosody was unable to find the configuration file.
prosody_1  | We looked for: /etc/prosody//config/prosody.cfg.lua

That's odd. Any chance you ran the containers as root?

[T-101]

I never run docker as root. And that machine where I tested is already running a few unrelated django docker projects.

I went even further, and copied a working docker-jitsi-meet directory from another machine, and tried building that. It failed on the same error.

Sounds like a possible upstream error to me.

I'll try to repro later. Can you check what Prosody version you're running in that container?

jitsi/prosody:latest

I just tried it but couldn't reproduce it:

Can you get the full output of the Prosody container?

[T-101]

Allright, this seems to be an issue in docker, automatically putting files inside the container as owned by root. (I am still not running docker as root)

I went for the nuclear option an went into each container and chmod the files inside to prosody/jicofo/jvb and got a little further. Frontpage still not loading though, and I probably shouldn't chmod ALL files starting from container root

EDIT: got it to open the front page, when trying to enter a room, it is stuck in a "You have been disconnected loop" EDIT2: the same exact thing happens on the mac btw
