Installation errors

This guide helps you resolve common issues encountered while installing Plane. Each section includes potential causes and step-by-step solutions.

Error during Docker Compose execution​

Error: Error during docker compose execution. Please check permissions and try again.

  • This error typically occurs when the user lacks sudo or root privileges. To resolve, ensure you're logged in as root or as a user with sudo access before attempting installation again.
  • The issue may also be caused by using an older version of Docker Compose (docker-compose). To fix, install the latest version of Docker Compose (docker compose) and remove the old version.

Migrator container exited​

Error: plane-migrator-1 container exited with status 1

This error typically occurs if you have configured an external database running on localhost. Since the connection is attempted from inside the container, localhost won’t work unless the database is also running within the container.

To resolve, ensure the database is hosted on a network-accessible server rather than localhost. Update the database URL to reflect the correct server address. See how to configure external db.
