Hello!

I'm following the steps in/~https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/wiki/Getting-Started
After step 5, I got this error:

$ docker compose up

Any idea on how to tackle this?

Thanks

At the meantime I found this post and tried the solution.

I commented this line and Netbox was deployed

  netbox-scripts-files:
    driver: local
      #- ./configuration:/etc/netbox/config:z,ro
    - netbox-media-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/media:rw
    - netbox-reports-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/reports:rw
    - netbox-scripts-files:/opt/netbox/netbox/scripts:rw

Now my question is what would be the difference between the default configuration and the one I omitted in the docker-compose.yaml.

Thanks
