UI Fails to load in galaxy_ng dev environment

Get Help

I’m setting up galaxy_ng in a dev environment for the first time, following steps in the docs as outlined in dev/getting_started.

After checking out the ansible-hub-ui repo, running make scripts and starting with ./compose up, I see a fatal error in the UI container:

galaxy_ng_ui_1 exited with code 2

This renders the UI unreachable. What can I do to get the UI up?

Try setting HUB_UI_VERSION=whatever in the compose environment, that should prevent webpack from trying to run git.

(Or you can comment out the ANSIBLE_HUB_UI_PATH in .compose.env and run the UI outside the container, API_BASE_PATH="/api/galaxy_ng/" npm run start-standalone.)

Thanks! I made this change:

HUB_UI_VERSION='4.9.0'
# and also
ANSIBLE_HUB_UI_VERSION='4.9.0'

However that didn’t seem to work, the ui container still tries to spin up with 0.1.0. I also tried setting the env to ANSIBLE_HUB_UI_VERSION with the same result.

I’m trying to find the ui container in a compose file to see what exactly is going on, but I don’t see it in dev/…

Ok, so I think the compose file for the ui is in dev/common/docker-compose-ui.yaml, which doesn’t use a HUB_UI_VERSION env. Not sure where to proceed from here

I would suggest following the current dev development docs instead: OCI Env Environment - Galaxy NG
