# Debugging and troubleshooting
Please follow tips 1 - 4 to get a more detailed error.
## 1. More Logging 📃
When debugging an issue always set the highest log level:
`LOG_LEVEL='debug'`
## 2. Surfacing errors when container restarts 🔁
Start the container via the **terminal** with a command similar to this one:
```bash
docker run --rm --network=host \
-v local/path/pialert/config:/home/pi/pialert/config \
-v local/path/pialert/db:/home/pi/pialert/db \
-e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
-e PORT=20211 \
jokobsk/pi.alert:latest
```
> ⚠ Please note, don't use the `-d` parameter so you see the error when the container crashes. Use this error in your issue description.
## 3. Check the _dev image and open issues ❓
If possible, check if your issue got fixed in the `_dev` image before opening a new issue. The container is:
`jokobsk/pi.alert_dev:latest`
> ⚠ Please backup your DB and config beforehand!
Please also search [open issues](https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert/issues).
## 4. Disable restart behavior 🛑
To prevent a Docker container from automatically restarting in a Docker Compose file, specify the restart policy as `no`:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
your-service:
image: your-image:tag
restart: no
# Other service configurations...
```
## 📃Common issues
### Permissions
* If facing issues (AJAX errors, can't write to DB, empty screen, etc,) make sure permissions are set correctly, and check the logs under `/home/pi/pialert/front/log`.
* To solve permission issues you can try setting the owner and group of the `pialert.db` by executing the following on the host system: `docker exec pialert chown -R www-data:www-data /home/pi/pialert/db/pialert.db`.
* Map to local User and Group IDs. Specify the enviroment variables `HOST_USER_ID` and `HOST_USER_GID` if needed.
* If still facing issues, try to map the pialert.db file (⚠ not folder) to `:/home/pi/pialert/db/pialert.db` (see Examples below for details)
### Container restarts / crashes
* Check the logs for details. Often a required setting for a notification method is missing.
### unable to resolve host
* Check that your `SCAN_SUBNETS` variable is using the correct mask and `--interface` as outlined in the instructions above.
### Invalid JSON
Check the [Invalid JSON errors debug help](/docs/DEBUG_INVALID_JSON.md) docs on how to proceed.
### sudo execution failing (e.g.: on arpscan) on a Raspberry Pi 4
> sudo: unexpected child termination condition: 0

```
wget ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libs/libseccomp/libseccomp2_2.5.3-2_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libseccomp2_2.5.3-2_armhf.deb
```
The link above will probably break in time too. Go to https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/libseccomp2/download to find the new version number and put that in the url.
