My containers start successfully but on yesterday’s call, we got some new commands which i thought were meant for setting a test environment on the front end but i encountered an error as attached. [Failure to run some commands - Pastebin](https://pastebin.pl/view/ae581294)

install node in your system. and then try `npm install` on the frontend directory!

Did you also run this `docker logs Container openelisglobal-webapp --tail 30`. ?
it should be d`ocker logs openelisglobal-webapp --tail 30`. drop the `Container` argument

Hello,
I deployed OpenELIS-Global-2 using Docker and it works wonderfully. I then installed Tomcat 11 and PostgreSQL 18 independently from Docker and tried to deploy the previously obtained `.war` file from Docker. Unfortunately, I get the following messages:
```auto
2025-11-02T09:05:56.446+0100 -- INFO -- Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started
2025-11-02T09:05:59.120+0100 -- INFO -- Bootstrapping Spring Data JPA repositories in DEFAULT mode.
2025-11-02T09:05:59.244+0100 -- INFO -- Finished Spring Data repository scanning in 92 ms. Found 3 JPA repository interfaces.
Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'org.postgresql.Driver' for connect URL '${datasource.url}'
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
```
The PostgreSQL JDBC driver (`postgresql-42.7.2.jar`) is present both in `\Tomcat-11.0.13\bin` and in `\Tomcat-11.0.13\webapps\OpenELIS-Global\WEB-INF\lib`.
Could someone help me? Thank you in advance!

Sorry about that @bouba .
Is there any specific reason you would want to deploy OpenELIS outside Docker ??

Thanks, Moses! How are you doing? I’d like to have a manual setup for a production environment where Docker isn’t allowed.
It would be great if you could help me with that !
