Stuck on the install/setup stage config file not found

[steven86m]

I try: sudo postal initialize
the reply is: no configuration file provided: not found

I have followed the instructions but they're a bit vague on where I need to save the config file to or point it to?

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it work if you don't use sudo?

[steven86m]

Yeah, I have followed the instructions to this point.

[steven86m]

If I re run that command it tells me the latest version number

what are the contents of /opt/postal/config?

I got the same problem. There are three files in /opt/postal/config/
Caddyfile postal.yml signing.key

I had the same issues, at it all related to a docker setup install incorrectly. It worked in the sense that I had docker on the machine and could run docker ps and all. I could even start mariaDB. But something was wrong.

I suggest to just run this script: https://github.com/postalserver/install/blob/main/prerequisites/install-ubuntu.v3.sh, which is pointed to in the main readme of install: https://github.com/postalserver/install/tree/main

I got a bit further on a fresh install, had to stop due to other work commitments but will pick it up Monday Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Did anything happen?

[plbeast]

I met the same problem.
And there are three file in /opt/postal/config

[plbeast]

I found the COMMAND should excuted in the install path:/opt/postal/install
As the docker-compose.yml is in the direcotry.

[vongohren]

Did not do any difference for me

Has this issue been fixed yet? Following the instructions to the letter simply does not result in a successful install.
Latest Ubuntu, Docker from docker repo, latest git clone etc.
Can someone correct the install instructions, or point me to a resource to correct them myself? Thanks!

Any movement on this or has someone been successful in this? It has not worked for me and we are getting the same error.
