Docker - error: unknown long flag

Support
1

i tried to configure maintanance at docker compose file, but got error with any command.

kopia  | kopia: error: unknown long flag '--enable-quick true', try --help
kopia  | kopia: error: unknown long flag '--quick-interval', try --help

documentation say nothing about docker, so i use keys same way as for CLI.

      command:
        - server
        - start
        - --insecure
        - --disable-csrf-token-checks
        - --address=0.0.0.0:51515
        - --server-username=
        - --server-password=
        - --enable-quick true
        - --enable-full true
        - --quick-interval=2h
        - --full-interval=24h

don’t tried another customisation keys yet, did they should work? sharding for expample.

As the error message implies --enable-quick and --quick-interval aren’t valid flags in context of kopia server start. Check kopia server start --help to see which flags are supported.

You need to run kopia maintenance set --enable-quick=true --enable-full=true --quick-interval=2h --full-interval=24h after the server has started. But --enable-quick=true, --enable-full=true and --full-interval=24h are default anyways if i recall correctly.

thanks, i got the idea.
but container fall with error.

compose

      command:
        - server
        - start
        - --insecure
        - --disable-csrf-token-checks
        - --address=0.0.0.0:51515
        - --server-username=
        - --server-password=
        - kopia maintenance set --enable-quick=true --enable-full=true --quick-interval=2h --full-interval=24h

kopia maintenance set --enable-quick=true --enable-full=true --quick-interval=2h --full-interval=24h

This should not be part of your start command. You need to run it separately - something like this:
docker exec $CONTAINERNAME kopia maintenance set --enable-quick=true --enable-full=true --quick-interval=2h --full-interval=24h

For anyone that might setup kopia (with tls), here is my docker-compose

version: '3.7'
services:
    kopia:
        user: ${UID}:${GID}
        image: kopia/kopia:latest
        hostname: machine
