1. Describe your incident:
I have a new vanilla Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VM. I install the docker components following their documentation. I downloaded the .env and open-core docker-compose.yml file from this the Docker GitHub webpage. I followed the Graylog documentation to install, generated the 2 passwords and put them into the .env file. I run the “docker compose” command, and after it completes I log into the HTTP webpage on port 9000.

The message on the webpages says “No data nodes have been found.” I can create the cert and renewal policy. But I can’t provision the certs to a data node when no data nodes are found. So I can’t get past the initial configuration webpage.

When I check “docker ps” output the graylog-datanode container seems to be constantly in a state of restarting.

2. Describe your environment:

  • OS Information: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

  • Package Version: I’m not sure what information is wanted here

  • Service logs, configurations, and environment variables: All configurations and environment variables are the defaults. I’ve only changed the 2 password variables in the .env file

3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?
I’ve searched a lot in this forum and other locations on the internet. I’ve tried updating the local /etc/hosts files trying different entries that made sense but it didn’t help. I also tried adjusting the ownership and permissions on the /var/lib/docker/ directories.

4. How can the community help?
I’d like to get a simple, basic, vanilla installation of GrayLog going using Docker so I can test sending firewall logs to it. But I can’t get it running. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
