      - MARIADB_PASSWORD=suitecrm
      - MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=suitecrm
    volumes:

    image: docker.io/bitnami/suitecrm:7.14.1

Hi,

I see that you are bind-mounting a volume, causing it to assume that it is a persisted installation

2025-03-26 16:39:44 suitecrm 13:09:44.85 INFO  ==> Restoring persisted SuiteCRM installation

Could you try with a fresh volume?

I have .gitkeep file in crmdata and db directories and It made the App think the crmdata is full! so It was restoring the app from non-existing files!

I removed .gitkeep file from crmdata and worked!

This Was the Wierdest thing I've ever seen in dev world!
