How to install without docker?

[blehz-be]

Is it possible to install without Docker?
I'd like to install it in a Debian LXC on Proxmox but after trying out some things (e.g. following the backend README) I fail to get far.

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

You can look at the docker file to see what dependencies you'll have to install

kitchenowl/Dockerfile

Line 79 in acbf770

RUN apt-get update \

You likely miss some SQLite libraries.

Thanks for the reply!

So I tried again installing all the backend dependencies as mentioned at

kitchenowl/Dockerfile

Line 59 in 73597e6

RUN apt-get update \

.
The server starts after following the README in the backend folder.
This is the output:

 * Debug mode: off
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
Press CTRL+C to quit

But I can't connect to it, or e.g. the /api/openapi endpoint. Neither does it work with the Android app (connecting to http://localip:5000).
Running in debug doesn't give anything either.
I tried playing with the port in the wsgi.ini file but that doesn't change anything to the port in this output either.
I'm lost at this point unfortunately.

So I tried again a few times, and now the last time I followed the Dockerfile from the root (not backend), using the flutter version at the commit of the submodule., and without upgrading flutter (the Dockerfile does this, but then the dependencies have wrong version, and I'm assuming they're not compatible with the app from F-Droid). Then started also via the .sh file and parameters as mentioned in the Dockerfile.
I also used a privileged LXC this time. Unprivileged doesn't work because the Gradle wrapper in Flutter does some uid magic.

I enabled OPEN_REGISTRATION (and DEBUG) and created an account via the Android app (to http://ip:8080, port 5000 doesn't work).
Logging in seems to be hit and miss. As seen in the log below, it fails and goes back to the login page (is this the GET /api/onboarding ?).
After trying multiple times it eventually goes through and I could add a household and set some settings.
But then the language of the household is not shown in the UI (still in English).
Killing the app and logging in again (after many retries) I get in again. But the login timeout also seems to be very short. So every time I have to go through this hit and miss login chain.
I haven't tried the official docker image but this doesn't look correct? Any idea what's going on here?
Also, is there a way to connect to it with a browser?

Log file; after creating user and household, and trying to log again multiple times. Sessions also shows multiple sessions for my user.
Eventually it does succeed and does GET /api/user and household after /api/auth.
