init script fixes #214

stavros-k · 2026-01-27T17:56:14Z

Closes #213

[[ is a bash syntax, but shebang is sh.
OPTIMIZE_CONFIG was wrapped in `, making it exectute it like it was a command.
The PHP_INI_DIR, is:
- not set in the alpine base
- was expected to be set during the BUILD phase of the image. If you check the logs before the commit that sets it, you see the warning

…e in koel-init

…l-init

Thanks for the PR. The test is broken – can you take a look?

It seems that it uses sqlite even tho I have pgsql configured?
Does it not read the env using something like getEnv? Does it expect variables to be set explicitly in the .env file?

Does it expect variables to be set explicitly in the .env file?

Yes.

stavros-k · 2026-01-27T18:18:41Z

Does it expect variables to be set explicitly in the .env file?

Yes.

Well, you can pass env to containers via -e in docker run or environment: in docker compose. I dont get the reason for the .env file requirement.

It's a Laravel thing, not Docker.

It's a Laravel thing, not Docker.

Given that Laravel's docs say

Any variable in your .env file can be overridden by external environment variables such as server-level or system-level environment variables.

Can we add an empty .env file in the /var/www/html dir, so it "works" and if a user wants to bind mount one, it should work as well.

Tests are still failing.

Even after having the .env file I see these logs

I can't really dig more into it. I have no idea about neither PHP or Laravel.
But I know I have deployed many laravel apps via docker that didnt require a .env file.
One example is firely-iii.

Feel free to take it from here and do changes.

Pull request overview

This PR makes corrections to the init script for POSIX shell compatibility and sets the PHP_INI_DIR environment variable that was previously undefined. However, it does not fully address issue #213 regarding running without a mounted .env file.

Changes:

Changed bash-specific [[ conditionals to POSIX-compliant [ in koel-init script
Fixed backtick syntax that would incorrectly execute OPTIMIZE_CONFIG as a command
Added PHP_INI_DIR environment variable definition in Dockerfile

koel-init

+if [ ! -f /var/www/html/.env ]; then
    echo "No .env file found in /var/www/html. Make sure to mount a .env file to store the configuration. You can use the koel:init command (see https://github.com/koel/docker#the-koelinit-command) for a guided setup."
    echo ""
    echo "See https://github.com/koel/koel/blob/master/.env.example for an example .env file."
    exit 0
 fi


This PR claims to close issue #213, which reports that the container won't run koel:init when environment variables are passed via docker-compose environment section (without mounting a .env file). However, this check still exits the script with exit 0 when the .env file is not found, preventing koel:init from running. This doesn't address the core issue described in #213. The script should either remove this check entirely or allow the script to continue when environment variables are provided through other means (e.g., checking if required environment variables are set).

@stavros-k WDYT?

I'm all in to remove this, as it currently masks the fact that init does not work.
CI showed us that.
