## TL;DR

For "bin/rails aborted! OpenSSL::PKey -:RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key": on the mis-tagged image: pulling the repo directly worked around the 1.8.2/1.8.1 mix-up until the release process was fixed. Generate an RSA private key and set it before starting: echo "LAGO\_RSA\_PRIVATE\_KEY [your value] genrsa 2048 | base64)\"" >>.env then source.env.

bin/rails aborted! OpenSSL::PKey -:RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key
```

## Steps

1. Generate an RSA private key and set it before starting: `echo "LAGO_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY [your value] genrsa 2048 | base64)\"" >> .env` then `source .env`. The maintainer confirmed the missing key was the cause of the crash. On the mis-tagged image: pulling the repo directly worked around the 1.8.2/1.8.1 mix-up until the release process was fixed.

2. Take the question above and check if it matches what you're seeing. If it does, work through the verified fix step by step. Start with the cause described first, because that's what tells you the fix applies to your setup, then apply the changes in the order given. Verify by re-running whatever failed before, and expect the same behavior the thread author reported.

Expected: The maintainer confirmed the missing key was the cause of the crash.

## When to use

You are seeing this: Deploying Lago 1.8.2 with docker-compose, the API container crashed during db:migrate with bin/rails aborted! Use this skill when you run into "Lago 1.8.2 docker-compose startup fails: OpenSSL::PKey -:RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: Lago 1.8.2, still 1.8.1. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
