Troubleshooting Docker Volumes errors

Troubleshooting errors in Docker Private Registry.

I was trying to fire up my docker trusted registry via:

$ docker-compose up -d on the following docker-compose file

configuration file: docker-compose.yml

registry:
  restart: always
  image: registry:2
  ports:
    - 5000:5000
  environment:
    REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY: /opt/registry/data
    REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE: /opt/registry/ssl/cert.pem
    REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY: /opt/registry/ssl/key.pem
    REGISTRY_AUTH: htpasswd
    REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_PATH: /auth/htpasswd
    REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_REALM: Registry Realm
  volumes:
    - /opt/registry/data:/var/lib/registry
    - /opt/registry/ssl:/certs
    - /opt/registry/auth:/auth

kept seeing this error level=fatal msg="open /opt/registry/ssl/cert.pem: no such file or directory"

error

confirmed the file existed so for some reason the container wasn't able to see it, meaning the volume mount was going wrong somewhere.

weirdly enough if i commented out just the cert.pem I dont see any errors about the other file variables defined shrugs

now seeing as i was following this tutorial: https://bobcares.com/blog/docker-private-repository/2/ i see that bobcares has the following run command:

docker run -d --name registry -v /opt/registry:/opt/registry -p 4043:5000 --restart always --env-file /opt/registry/config/registry.env registry:2

and his /opt/registry/config/registry.env file is where all the REGISTRY_* variables are set.. so got me thinking, this must be the baseline volume mount that the variables base themselves off.

so, quick change to docker-compose.yml like so,

registry:
  restart: always
  image: registry:2
  ports:
    - 5000:5000
  environment:
    REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY: /opt/registry/data
    REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE: /opt/registry/ssl/cert.pem
    REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY: /opt/registry/ssl/key.pem
    REGISTRY_AUTH: htpasswd
    REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_PATH: /auth/htpasswd
    REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_REALM: Registry Realm
  volumes:
    - /opt/registry:/opt/registry

and the mofo came up :)
