Issue: Missing or Incorrect Configuration File

Solution: Ensure that the config.yaml file is placed in the directory from which you are running the Docker container. The configuration file must include the correct settings, such as the database type (Redis or file-based) and API keys. Double-check that the path to the config.yaml file is correctly specified in the Docker Compose file:

volumes:
  - ./config.yaml:/opt/server/config/config.yaml

Issue: Redis Container Not Communicating with the Floating Server

Solution: Ensure both Redis and the Floating Server are running on the same Docker network. You can create a Docker network and connect both containers to it:

docker network create fs-network
docker run -d --net fs-network --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest
docker run -d --net fs-network --name floating-server -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/config.yaml:/opt/server/config/config.yaml censedata/floating-server:latest

Issue: Redis Data Not Persisting After Container Restart

Solution: Ensure that a Docker volume is created and mounted to persist Redis data:

volumes:
  - redis_data:/data

This ensures that data will be preserved even if the container is stopped or restarted.

Issue: Floating Server Not Accessible

Solution: Verify that the ports are correctly exposed in the Docker configuration. For example:

ports:
  - "8080:8080"

This exposes the Floating Server on port 8080. Check your firewall and network settings to ensure the port is open.
