Hello,

As a system administrator, Docker is pure nightmare, i won't dig into details (because that isn't what i'm here for) but i wish planka was usable without having to rely on docker.

I'm trying to make my own documentation on my side but considering how the Dockerfile is made (with copies of some folders for each build), it isn’t reasonable to maintain this doc properly (especially in a production environnement, when it well be released).

So far i made sure to setup everything (based on your Dockerfile) on my debian test machine, install deps, init the db, but trying starting the node app gave me this error.

error: A hook (`userconfig`) failed to load! 
error: Failed to lift app: Error: Attempted to `require('/srv/planka-app/config/custom.js')`, but an error occurred:

I did setup the BASE_URL env to http://localhost:9876 and SECRET_KEY + DATABASE_URL to the expected values.

Please consider this issue as not everybody wants to install a docker environnement just for Planka.
I would be happy to make a PR with a setup documentation for some distros (starting with Debian).

Hi! We also use it without Docker. It seems like the server\sails.rc file is missed or doesn't load properly, so you receive an error that sails.config.paths.public is undefined.

The file do exist.
As per a friend recommendation i copied it to the home folder (for the planka user).
Now it does start, tho for some reason, it dosen't take the BASE_URL env for the listening port.

I saw that there was a .env file, i tried editing it, but same result 🤔 (i also tried to copy it to the working dir).

For context, i tried replicating what your Dockerfile does, so /srv/planka-app as /app, i don't know if there is a better way to do this.

BASE_URL is only needed to prepend it to the static file URL. Port can be configured by the --port option when lifting or in the config files.
