Hi @Kritix | 3pe1x.com. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The error message you are seeing is related to how Docker is handling the PostgreSQL database volume, especially with newer versions of the official Postgres Docker image (version 18+). The problem is not with Wasp itself, but with the way Docker is mounting the database data directory.
What’s happening?
- The error indicates that there is a mismatch between the way your Docker container expects to store PostgreSQL data and how the data is actually stored in your Docker volume.
- This usually happens if you have upgraded your Postgres Docker image (for example, from version 15/16/17 to 18+) without properly migrating the underlying database data using
This is a Docker/Postgres image upgrade issue, not a Wasp or local setup problem. Removing the old Docker volume and letting Wasp/Docker create a new one should resolve it if you don’t need to keep your old data. If you do need to keep your data, you’ll need to follow the migration steps using
pg_upgrade.
- The new images expect the data to be in a subdirectory (e.g., /var/lib/postgresql/18/main), but your volume is mounted directly to /var/lib/postgresql/data, which is now considered "unused" by the new image.
Is it Docker or your local setup?
- This is a Docker volume/data migration issue, not a Wasp or local environment configuration problem.
- The error is triggered by the way Docker volumes are managed and how the Postgres image expects data to be structured after version 18+.
How to fix it?
- You need to either:
1. Remove the existing Docker volume so that a fresh database is initialized (you will lose all existing data in that volume), or
2. Properly migrate your database data using pg_upgrade as described in the links provided in the error message.
Quick fix (if you don’t need to keep your data):
You can remove the problematic Docker volume with:
Then try running wasp start db again. This will create a new, clean database volume compatible with the current Postgres Docker image.
References:
- The error and its context are described in the official Docker Postgres image documentation and related GitHub issues. For more details, see the links in your error message and the discussion at docker-library/postgres#37.
Summary:This is a Docker/Postgres image upgrade issue, not a Wasp or local setup problem. Removing the old Docker volume and letting Wasp/Docker create a new one should resolve it if you don’t need to keep your old data. If you do need to keep your data, you’ll need to follow the migration steps using
pg_upgrade as described in the referenced documentation.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error you are seeing is due to a change in how the official Postgres Docker image (version 18+) manages its data directory. The error message indicates that the data in your Docker volume is not compatible with the new format expected by Postgres 18+, likely because the volume was created with an older version of the image and now you are running a newer one.
What’s happening?
- The Postgres Docker image now expects the data directory to be structured differently (using major-version-specific subdirectories).
- If you upgrade the Docker image without migrating the data, you get this error.
- The volume

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on your output, even after removing the Docker volume, you are still encountering the same error related to the new data directory structure required by Postgres 18+ Docker images. This suggests that the issue is not with leftover data in the Docker volume, but rather with how the volume is being mounted or initialized by the Wasp CLI and Docker.
From the knowledge sources, this is a known issue when upgrading to Postgres 18+ Docker images, as they now expect the data directory to be mounted at
- The problem is caused by a breaking change in the official Postgres Docker image (18+), not by your local setup or Docker installation. - Wasp currently mounts the volume in a way that is incompatible with Postgres 18+. - The knowledge sources do not provide a direct solution or workaround for this within Wasp at this time. If you need to proceed, you may consider using an older Postgres Docker image (e.g.,
/var/lib/postgresql instead of /var/lib/postgresql/data to support versioned subdirectories. The Wasp CLI currently mounts the volume at /var/lib/postgresql/data, which is now incompatible with the new image requirements. This is confirmed by the error message and the discussion in the official Postgres Docker documentation and related GitHub issues.
The knowledge sources do not provide a Wasp-specific workaround or configuration to change the mount point to /var/lib/postgresql. Therefore, unless Wasp updates its internal Docker run command, this issue will persist with Postgres 18+ images.
Summary:- The problem is caused by a breaking change in the official Postgres Docker image (18+), not by your local setup or Docker installation. - Wasp currently mounts the volume in a way that is incompatible with Postgres 18+. - The knowledge sources do not provide a direct solution or workaround for this within Wasp at this time. If you need to proceed, you may consider using an older Postgres Docker image (e.g.,
postgres:16) until Wasp updates its handling of the database volume mount. The knowledge sources do not provide explicit instructions for downgrading, but you can specify the image version in your own Docker commands if needed.
If you need further help, you may want to follow or comment on related issues in the Wasp GitHub repository, as this is a known and ongoing compatibility topic (source).

@kapa.ai how to use Postgres 17
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To use Postgres 17 with Wasp, you need to ensure that the Docker container for your database uses the Postgres 17 image instead of the default (which is now 18+ and has breaking changes in data directory structure).
You can do this by running your own Docker command and specifying the version explicitly. For example:
After starting the container, set your
- Run your own Postgres 17 Docker container as shown above. - Set the correct
DATABASE_URL in your Wasp project (e.g., in .env.server) to:
This approach is supported by Wasp, as you can connect to any running Postgres instance by setting the DATABASE_URL environment variable. This method is also suggested in the Wasp documentation for connecting to an existing database, and you are free to use any Postgres version you want by specifying it in the Docker image tag Docs: Connecting to a Database.
If you want Wasp to manage the database for you with wasp db start, you would need to wait for Wasp to update its internal Docker command to support specifying the Postgres version, as the current implementation uses the latest tag by default, which is now 18+ and incompatible with the old volume mount approach.
Summary:- Run your own Postgres 17 Docker container as shown above. - Set the correct
DATABASE_URL in your Wasp project.
- This avoids the breaking changes introduced in Postgres 18+ Docker images.
If you need more details or run into issues, let me know!

Wohooo @Kritix | 3pe1x.com, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Once you start your own Postgres 17 Docker container and set the
DATABASE_URL in your .env.server file, you do not need to run wasp db start. The wasp db start command is used to let Wasp manage and start a dev database for you, but since you are running your own database, you should leave it running and skip wasp db start.
Instead, follow these steps:
1. Start your Postgres 17 Docker container (as you did).
2. Set the DATABASE_URL in your .env.server file to point to your running database.
3. Run migration commands such as wasp db migrate-dev to set up your database schema.
4. Start your Wasp app with wasp start.
This approach is confirmed in the Wasp documentation:If you want to spin up your own dev database (or connect to an external one), you can tell Wasp about it using theDocs: Migrating from SQLite to PostgreSQL So, do not runDATABASE_URLenvironment variable. Wasp will use the value ofDATABASE_URLas a connection string.
...
Ensure your new database is running (check the section on connecting to a database to see how). Leave it running, since we need it for the next step.
In a different terminal, runwasp db migrate-devto apply the changes and create a new initial migration.
That is it, you are all done!
wasp db start after starting your own Postgres container. Just run the migration and start your app as usual.

Based on the knowledge sources:
- This error is shown when Wasp or Prisma cannot reach the database at the specified address and port. You need to ensure that your PostgreSQL server is running and accessible at localhost:5432 with the credentials specified in your DATABASE_URL (source, source).
- If you are running your own Docker container for Postgres (as previously discussed), make sure it is running and that the port mapping is correct (-p 5432:5432).
- If you have another Postgres instance running locally (not in Docker), it could be conflicting with the port, or the Docker container might not be running at all (source).
What to check:
1. Is your Postgres Docker container running?Run
docker ps and check for your Postgres container.
2. Is it mapped to port 5432?The container should be started with
-p 5432:5432.
3. Is your DATABASE_URL correct?It should match the credentials and database name you set when starting the container. 4. Is another process using port 5432?
If you have native Postgres running, it might be using the port, causing a conflict (source). Summary:
Wasp cannot connect to your database because it is not running or not accessible at

Your output shows that your Wasp app has started successfully! 🎉
- The database was set up correctly.
- The SDK and project compiled without errors.
- Both the server and client started, and Vite reports your app is ready at <http://localhost:3000/.
This is the expected result after running
wasp start with a properly configured and running PostgreSQL database, as described in the Wasp documentation for connecting to a database and starting your app Docs: Connecting to a Database.
You can now open <http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to use your app.

is there any where i can run app without using wasp
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but according to the current Wasp documentation and community discussions, Wasp does not yet fully support running natively on Windows without WSL. The official recommendation is to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to run Wasp projects on Windows, as native Windows support is still under development and not stable yet Docs: Quick Start - Installation, Discord discussion.
If you do not want to use WSL, there is no officially supported way to run a Wasp app natively on Windows at this time. The Wasp team is working towards native Windows support, but there are still unresolved issues Docs: Quick Start - Installation.
Alternatives:
- You can try running your app in a cloud-based development environment like Gitpod, which is mentioned as a way to try Wasp without installing it locally Docs: Quick Start.
- You could also use a Linux or Mac machine, or wait for native Windows support to be released.
Summary:
Currently, you cannot run a Wasp app natively on Windows without WSL or a Linux-like environment. If you want to avoid WSL, consider using a cloud dev environment like Gitpod for now. If you have further questions or want updates on native Windows support, you can follow the progress here: Wasp Windows support issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kritix | 3pe1x.com, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai how can i run app directly without wsl
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Currently, you cannot run a Wasp app directly on Windows without WSL. The official Wasp documentation and community discussions clearly state that native Windows support is not yet fully available. The recommended and supported way to run Wasp on Windows is through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Docs: Quick Start - Installation, and this is reiterated in community conversations:
- Native Windows support for Wasp is not yet available. - WSL is currently required to run Wasp on Windows. - Alternatively, you can use Gitpod to try Wasp without installing it locally. If you want to track progress on native Windows support, you can follow this GitHub issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kritix | 3pe1x.com, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

"With Wasp for Windows, we are almost there: Wasp is successfully compiling and running on Windows but there is a bug or two stopping it from fully working... In the meantime, the best way to start using Wasp on Windows is by using WSL."Docs: Quick Start - Installation There is no mention in the knowledge sources of a supported way to run a Wasp app natively on Windows or to bypass WSL entirely. The only alternative mentioned is to use a cloud-based environment like Gitpod, which allows you to run Wasp in the browser without local setup Docs: Quick Start. Summary:
- Native Windows support for Wasp is not yet available. - WSL is currently required to run Wasp on Windows. - Alternatively, you can use Gitpod to try Wasp without installing it locally.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The errors you are seeing:
mean that your code is trying to import from
This error often happens if the import path is incorrect or the file does not exist. Double-check that the file
If you used an AI tool (like Mage AI or usemage.ai) to generate your Wasp project, it may have created import paths that do not actually exist, which is a known issue. In such cases, you need to manually fix or remove the incorrect imports Discord support thread. 3. Wasp Project Structure
Wasp projects have a specific structure, and sometimes imports reference files that only exist in the generated project, not in your source. Make sure you are editing the correct files and that your imports are valid in your source project, not just in the generated output Github Issue #604. What you should do: - Check if
'wasp/src/demo-ai-app/operations', but that module does not exist or cannot be resolved.
Based on the knowledge sources, here are the most likely causes and solutions:
1. Incorrect or Non-Existent Import PathThis error often happens if the import path is incorrect or the file does not exist. Double-check that the file
src/demo-ai-app/operations exists in your project. If it does not, you need to either create it or update your import statements to point to the correct location. The Wasp compiler and TypeScript will throw this error if the path is wrong or the file is missing Github Issue #1664.
2. Generated or AI-Generated Code IssuesIf you used an AI tool (like Mage AI or usemage.ai) to generate your Wasp project, it may have created import paths that do not actually exist, which is a known issue. In such cases, you need to manually fix or remove the incorrect imports Discord support thread. 3. Wasp Project Structure
Wasp projects have a specific structure, and sometimes imports reference files that only exist in the generated project, not in your source. Make sure you are editing the correct files and that your imports are valid in your source project, not just in the generated output Github Issue #604. What you should do: - Check if
src/demo-ai-app/operations exists in your project.
- If it does not, update or remove the import statements in server/operations/actions/index.ts and server/operations/queries/index.ts that reference this path.
- If you are unsure where these imports came from (e.g., generated by an AI tool), review your recent changes and clean up any incorrect or non-existent imports.
If you continue to have trouble, you may want to share your project structure or the relevant code sections for more targeted help.
If you need more information about how Wasp handles imports and project structure, see the related discussions in the knowledge sources above.

@kapa.ai i have deleted demo-ai-app/operations folder
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Since you have deleted the
demo-ai-app/operations folder, but your code (specifically in server/operations/actions/index.ts and server/operations/queries/index.ts) is still trying to import from 'wasp/src/demo-ai-app/operations', TypeScript and the Wasp build process are failing with "Cannot find module" errors.
To resolve this:
- You need to remove or update all import statements in your code that reference 'wasp/src/demo-ai-app/operations' to point to valid, existing files.
- Make sure that any code depending on those imports is either updated to use the correct modules or is removed if it is no longer needed.
This is a common issue when files are deleted but related import statements are not updated, as discussed in the Wasp community and GitHub issues. The Wasp compiler and TypeScript will throw errors if you try to import from a path that no longer exists Github Issue #1664.
If you are unsure where these imports are, you can search your project for 'demo-ai-app/operations' and update or remove those lines.
If you need further help, please provide the relevant code sections or a list of current import statements.

----------------------
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain any information about the purpose or use of a folder or module named
demo-ai-app in a Wasp project. There is no mention of demo-ai-app in the official Wasp documentation, starter templates, or community discussions included in the sources.
If this folder was generated by an AI tool or is part of a custom or experimental setup, it is not documented in the official Wasp resources. If you need more details, you may want to check the source or tool that created it, or consult the documentation or README that came with your specific project setup.
