The steps I used to replicate the issue:

Copy paste compose file.
Point to the 'template' config file.
Compose up -d.

Container does nothing except restart repeatedly.

The real frustration is the absolute lack of documentation in getting this app to run.

Do I need to do anything but run the compose file? Do I require the recorder? The documentation is pretty barebones here.

Also:

Copy [public/config/config.example.js](https://github.com/owntracks/frontend/blob/main/public/config/config.example.js) to public/config/config.js and make changes as you wish.

Copy public/config - where? Where is this folder? You can't even docker exec into the container if it won't run for more than 10 seconds at a time.

Copy paste compose file.

The compose file from the README is not functional on its own. It requires another service named otrecorder, for which noo config can be provided as it differers for every setup. This is being mentioned in the README:

if you also run the OwnTracks Recorder with the default compose config, and the service is named otrecorder

Do I require the recorder?

Yes, obviously. Where else would the data come from?

Copy public/config - where? Where is this folder?

This is the file that is being mapped into the container like this:

- ./path/to/custom/config.js:/usr/share/nginx/html/config/config.js

The contents of the directory public in the repo is being copied into /usr/share/nginx/html in the container.

The root cause of the restart is the recorder not running or being reachable, which has nothing to do with the frontend - once you resolve that issue, it should work.
