> I typed "Zulip docker compose" into DuckDuckGo, the first result was https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip which has commits from today, so doesn't seem out-of-date.

Of course, that's where I started as well. However, when I tried to pull as described in the README:

    $ docker pull ghcr.io/zulip/zulip-server:11.5-0
    Error response from daemon: failed to resolve reference "ghcr.io/zulip/zulip-server:11.5-0": ghcr.io/zulip/zulip-server:11.5-0: not found

So I had to pull from `zulip/docker-zulip` instead, because that one actually does exist.

> Does https://zulip.readthedocs.io/projects/docker/en/latest/how-t... help?

It almost did, but Zulip's port 80 still would try to redirect to HTTPS, even when X-Forwarded-Proto said https.

Today (after I had made the comment you replied to), I tried setting `CONFIG_application_server__http_only: "true"` as should work according to https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip/blob/add4339a92d3073d5... , but it appears the image I actually have is different, as /sbin/entrypoint.sh reads:

    if [ "$DISABLE_HTTPS" == "True" ]; then
        echo "Disabling https in nginx."
        crudini --set /etc/zulip/zulip.conf application_server http_only true
    fi

So I set DISABLE_HTTPS instead and that worked. It appears this has been removed according to https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip/blob/add4339a92d3073d5... first committed two days ago, but that change seemingly hasn't reached the image I'm using? Either way I wasn't even upgrading so how would I find those docs?

> The official docker compose has databases set up already, I guess you were missing those from your ChatGPT created compose file.

I didn't even know how / to use the official docker compose because I didn't find documentation that explained what to do. I didn't see information in the repository on what to do and assumed its compose files were for development/testing.

> A quick click-through seems to suggest you landed on https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/install.ht... and then clicked on the prominent "Docker image" link on top which leads to a random location on the page. (at least on Firefox)

Using Safari; for me it leads to the "Zulip in Docker" section on the "Deployment options" page. It says only that the Docker image exists, and that using it increases the effort required (obviously). I followed the link to the Docker image and only read the README because that's usually where installation instructions are. I found none. At the bottom it says "See our main documentation" which I didn't follow because I thought it was just a link to Zulip's documentation which I had already established was near useless. Following it now, apparently it's Docker-unique documentation. Would've been helpful to have known that or for it even to have been indicated anywhere. But some of it still doesn't apply to the image I'm using since the ghcr.io one seemingly disappeared for some reason.
