[22:03:05]<egratta[m]>Hi there, software developer here from Madison, WI. I think what you're doing is really cool and I'd like to contribute; no Drupal experience, some PHP experience, I've set up FarmOS on an AWS EC2 instance and have been poking around. I do have experience with iOS but don't have a Mac. If I'd be useful in any particular way let me know! Otherwise I'll browse the issue queues.
[22:58:37]<mstenta[m]>Welcome egratta ! That's awesome! Let me know if anything in the issue queues strikes your fancy. Happy to share any info I can. :-)

[14:29:01]<munjoma[m]>mstenta: Hi, I am new to farmos, I want to run the software locally for evaluation purposes. I have followed the instructions to run Docker from here: https://farmos.org/development/docker/#create-containers. When creating database I got "Variable Table Exisits" error. I am stuck with "Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_attach_load() in /var/www/html/includes/entity.inc on line 354"
[14:52:08]<mstenta[m]>Hi munjoma
[14:52:57]<mstenta[m]>It sounds like the database is trying to install over an existing database - did you have trouble more than once? And perhaps that lead to the database already being created?
[14:53:46]<mstenta[m]>The easiest thing to do is start completely fresh by deleting the .data folder (this is where the database and farmOS files are stored, which gets mounted into the containers as volumes)
[14:53:52]<mstenta[m]>But only do that if you don't have anything to lose!
[14:54:23]<mstenta[m]>Removing the .data folder will cause it to be rebuilt when you run docker-compose up again
[14:54:42]<mstenta[m]>Make sure you also shut down the containers and destroy them first
[14:54:44]<mstenta[m]>sudo docker-compose down
[14:55:02]<mstenta[m]>Then delete .data, and run: sudo docker-compose up
[14:55:05]<mstenta[m]>That should start you fresh
[15:01:04]<munjoma[m]>mstenta: thanks for the information. Where do I locate the .data file/folder?
[15:17:07]<munjoma[m]>no worries, I have figured out where the .data folder is located, rebuilding the system, I will let you know how it goes
[15:30:02]<munjoma[m]>should I worry about "db_1 | 2018-06-07 19:29:19.621 UTC [124] ERROR: relation "variable" does not exist at character 19"
[17:46:24]<mstenta[m]>munjoma: I've never encountered that error.
[17:47:23]<mstenta[m]>I assume you're following the guide on farmOS.org? Or are you trying to use a different database perhaps?
[17:48:20]<mstenta[m]>The default database is MariaDB. Are you trying to install on PostgreSQL?
[17:48:53]<mstenta[m]>(If I google variations of that error I see mostly Postgres-related results)
