self host planka error on start

[Itz_Dr_Li]

I was trying to deploy production version of planka with docker, this is what I did:

mkdir planka  # (not in /opt/planka)
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plankanban/planka/master/docker-compose.yml -o /opt/planka/docker-compose.yml  # from doc
openssl rand -hex 64  # then pasted in docker-compose.yml, also edited BASE_URL
docker compose up -d

This is what happend:
I opened http://myserverip:3000 , then it loaded but nothing appeared:

but the title of this tab showed up:

Then I checked the log of container planka-planka-1 via portainer:

node:internal/process/promises:288

            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);

            ^

Thanks

Update: acts same after I have set everything correctly by following the document (docker-compose.yml at /opt/planka)

Without seeing your compose file, it's nearly impossible to tell what is going wrong

No problem
Please set your the BASE_URL to http://your-server-ip:3000 or http://your-server-hostname:3000

It's working now, much appreciated.
