Clojurians Log v2

@foo I am trying to follow the instructions to deploy the example app and need some help. I quite a bit out of my depth with this remote server/host linux stuff. I set up a Digital Ocean droplet and SSH access. I ran the install.sh script. It failed for me during the cert-bot part. But I went back and executed that part again and the remaining steps manually. I have a domain http://tmem.xyz connected to my droplet (with the default DNS records). I entered "<http://tmem.xyz|tmem.xyz>" string under HOST var in the example/task file, and under :hello.biff/host in example/config.edn. Everything else is the stock example. I ran release-cljs task on my local copy to generate the js. I pushed my copy of the Example project to https://github.com/ryolyo/example, and edited the biff/prod/deps.edn with the url and sha. Then systemctl restart biff.... and in the logs I get this:

here are my DNS records in Digital Ocean CP

Hey @chromalchemy! Your DNS records look good. Were those set up before you ran install.sh? Do you remember what the error message from certbot was? (I'm guessing it failed while it was trying to verify that you control http://tmem.xyz?) Did certbot work the second time when you ran it manually (or did you skip that command)? To clarify about config.edn - the contents look correct in your repo. The issue is you have to copy it to /root/biff/prod/config.edn on the DO droplet. The scp config.edn <mailto:root@tmem.xyz|root@tmem.xyz>:biff/prod/ command should do that. However, it looks like you're running the command while already logged into your DO droplet. You'll need to run the command from your local machine, in the same directory as the example project. Alternatively, you could just edit /root/biff/prod/config.edn while logged into the DO droplet and paste in the contents of config.edn. This will fix the error you got after running systemctl restart biff. The Assert failed: (some? host) error happens because it can't find the :hello.biff/host key in config.edn. By the way, for deploying the example app, you'll probably want to add :hello.biff.crux/topology :standalone to config.edn:

{:prod {:hello.biff.crux/topology :standalone
        ...}
 ...}

I believe the certbot worked the 2nd time, but i dont understand all the messaging

Oh, one more thing: I accidentally put a bug in example/task. You should set APP_NS to hello.biff instead of hello. As it is, the cljs output has been copied to the wrong directory (`resources/www/hello/cljs/app/` instead of resources/www/hello.biff/cljs/app/). I fixed that in the Biff repo yesterday (I made it so you just use hello instead of hello.biff, both in the task file and when calling start-biff), but I wouldn't recommend pulling from the Biff repo just yet as it's still in a state of flux for a day or two.

Yes, i set up domain in DP cp before install

k. well maybe the failure on the first time was just a fluke.

I think the certbot failure occured when i endered an illegal char in name

Ok i will try these corrections later and report back. Thanks for the quick response, and all your work!

ah that'd make sense. Sounds good, and you're welcome! hope it works this time 🙂
