Unable to create user verdaccio docker image

Here is my docker-compse entry -

verdaccio:
  container_name: kode
  image: verdaccio/verdaccio:latest
  environment:
  - PGID=${PGID}
  - PUID=${PUID}
  - TZ=${TZ}
  restart: unless-stopped
  ports:
   - "4873:4873"
  volumes:
   - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/verdaccio/conf:/verdaccio/conf
   - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/verdaccio/storage:/verdaccio/storage
   - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/verdaccio/plugins:/verdaccio/plugins

And I am reverse proxying the container using apache

ProxyPreserveHost On

 ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:4873/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:4873/

 ServerName myurl.com
 ServerAlias www.myurl.com

I can access the webui via ‘myurl.com’ and all seems well, and I can see the config.yaml file in my local conf folder, so that seems fine, but when I try to add my user via cli it is giving me an error…

$ npm set registry http://myurl.com      
$ npm adduser --registry http://myurl.com                                    
Username: karl                                                                 
Password: mypassword
Email: (this IS public) myemail                                               
npm ERR! code E500                                                               
npm ERR! Registry returned 500 for PUT on http://myurl.com/-/user/org.couchdb .user:karl: internal server error

I can’t seem to work it out, and I have rebuilt the container, any help or ideas would be great, thanks.

@carlosen14 @juanpicado perhaps worth to update the docs with this if we haven’t already?

Actually i solved that way… moved to an external volume like this

# Crea la variable con el path al volumen
VERDACCIOSTORAGE=/path/to/your/volume

# Crear el volumen en docker
docker volume create -d local --opt o=bind --opt device=$VERDACCIOSTORAGE verdaccio-storage

# Crear el directorio para ese volumen.
mkdir -p $VERDACCIOSTORAGE

and but i had to set USER root on Dockerfile, else it couldn’t write on volume maybe because it was still a bind.

FROM verdaccio/verdaccio:4.1.0

USER root

ARG ENV=development
ARG plugins="verdaccio-github-oauth verdaccio-github-oauth-ui verdaccio-audit verdaccio-google-cloud verdaccio-gitlab verdaccio-profile-api verdaccio-bitbucket-server verdaccio-coauth"

RUN yarn add $plugins

ADD config.yaml /verdaccio/conf/config.yaml

RUN apk --no-cache add curl
