Blank page when setting up Docker developer environment

triple_l

Hello community,

Please bear with me as I am fairly new to this.

I have been following the docker-vanilla developer setup step by step from here: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla-docker

However, when opening localhost all I get is a blank page. Same for dev.vanilla.localhost.

To rule out issues with my machine's setup, I redid the installation on two different Macs - one of them wiped clean beforehand. Same result.

I am using Catalina OS and have tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Did anyone encounter this issues before or can show me the right direction to trouble shoot this?

If there is any additional system info you need, please let me know.

@R_J Thank you for linking me to the thread.

I have read through it, however I couldn't find anything related to the issue I am facing.

After the nth retry and lots of research, I was finally able to solve this myself.

Looks like it was a Node version issue. I was using latest version, but this Vanilla developer build seems to only work with Node 10.x.

Interestingly, the documentation here (though very subtle) mentions that Node 10.x as a prerequisite: https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/articles/155-local-setup-quickstart

I first missed it since I thought anything above version 10 should be fine. On the other hand, the github documentation does't mention anything regarding the Node version.
