🐛 Bug: AIO community Dockerfile VOLUME uses single quotes, breaks container recreate on Docker 29.5.0 #9098

@astarte75

Description

@astarte75

Summary

deployments/aio/community/Dockerfile line 62 declares the VOLUME instruction with single quotes:

VOLUME ['/app/data', '/app/logs']

Docker's JSON (exec) form requires double quotes. With single quotes Docker does not parse it as a JSON array; it falls back to the shell form and treats the bracket/comma tokens as literal volume paths. The resulting image declares two anonymous volumes with malformed, non-absolute destinations:

$ docker image inspect makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable --format '{{json .Config.Volumes}}'
{"/app/logs]":{},"[/app/data,":{}}

$ docker history --no-trunc makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable | grep VOLUME
VOLUME [[/app/data, /app/logs]]

Impact

Docker Engine tolerated these non-absolute anonymous volume paths at container create time until Engine 29.5.0 (released 2026-05-14), which now validates and rejects them:

Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "volume":
invalid mount path: '[/app/data,' mount path must be absolute

Effect on plane-aio-community:

  • Existing containers keep running (start of an already-created container is still tolerated).
  • Any recreation fails: docker compose up -d --force-recreate, docker compose pull && up -d, or recreate after an image bump. The AIO instance becomes non-upgradeable on Docker ≥ 29.5.0.

Reproduction

docker pull makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable
docker run -d --name plane-test makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable
docker rm -f plane-test
# On Docker Engine 29.5.0:
docker create --name plane-test makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable
# -> Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "volume":
#    invalid mount path: '[/app/data,' mount path must be absolute

Environment

  • Image: makeplane/plane-aio-community:stable (and every tag back to v0.28.0 — the defect is long-standing, only newly surfaced by Docker behavior)
  • Docker Engine: 29.5.0
  • Affected file: deployments/aio/community/Dockerfile:62 (present on both preview and master)

Suggested fix

Use the valid JSON array form with double quotes:

VOLUME ["/app/data", "/app/logs"]
