OCS Server with docker errors

I'm setting up a new OCS Server with the following configuration

Host: Windows Server 2022 with docker in WSL Mode (thanks docker desktop) with a compose mode.

version used: 2.11.0

First, I had to modify the compose file because the NGinx component doesn't make the bridge between himself and the OCS Server component. So I compose with this file

version: '3'

services:

  ocsapplication:

    image: ocsinventory/ocsinventory-docker-image:2.11

    container_name : ocsinventory-server

    restart: always

    expose:

      - "80"

now, the compose is working but I have 2 errors in the building time and 1 in the production time

for the building:

[Tue Jan 31 15:22:54 2023] OCSINVENTORY: (SOAP): Cannot find XML::Entities

2023-01-31 15:22:54 ocsinventory-server: Can't load SOAP::Transport::HTTP* - Web service will be unavailable

Don't know if these are blocking issues. as I understand, the XML::Entities is not installed during the compose setup. for the SOAP transport, I have no idea where is the problem

now the production issue: I can't login to the main page of the administrative console, a PHP error is returned when I try to login

[php:error] [pid 100] [client 172.20.0.1:46598] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: mysqli_fetch_object():
Argument #1 ($result) must be of type mysqli_result, bool given in /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/backend/AUTH/methode/local.php:29

4 {main}\n  thrown in /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/backend/AUTH/methode/local.php on line 29, referer: http://<insert servername here>/ocsreports/

any clues?

For testing, Docker Ok, but for running, it's really simpler to start with a VM with Debian and follow a easy tuto ...

(Starting with a fresh Debian VM, I could setup a OCS server in less than 20' ... with success)

I'm sorry, but create a debian VM only for this, in our environment 99,9% windows sided (just 3 macs clients, all windows for what remain) would be a really big pain in the ass to admin and keep compliant....

any another clue?

You choose what you want to do, and you choose what you can/could assume.

I recommend use of standard Linux distribution over Docker. But you assume your choice, as I assume my own choice.

Please note, OCS server need a 'robust' server for a long usage : the best is a dedicated server or a dedicated VM server ...IM(NS)HO, it's more efficient and stable than WSL over Windows (Server) ...
