setting up env file for rmfakecloud

[candid thorn]

This is my env file

STORAGE_URL=192.168.1.113 PORT 3000 DATADIR /srv/nicole/rm2 LOGLEVEL debug RM_HTTPS_COOKIE RM_TRUST_PROXY false RMAPI_HWR_APPLICATIONKEY *** RMAPI_HWR_HMAC *** RM_SMTP_SERVER smtp-mail.outlook.com:587 RM_SMTP_USERNAME **** RM_SMTP_PASSWORD **** RM_SMTP_FROM Sent from Nicole's Remarkable Tablet RM_SMTP_NOTLS RM_SMTP_STARTTLS RM_SMTP_INSECURE_TLS
docker compose up tells me key cannot contain a space . There are no spaces in the key and not railing spaces anywhere. Not sure what's going on.

[jaunty oak]

I sure hope the RMAPI_HWR_APPLICATIONKEY and RMAPI_HWR_HMAC values have been censored

You may want to sensor your email address too

RM_TRUST_PROXY false
You mentioned that you were using a reverse proxy?

@candid thorn

As for the key cannot contain a space errors, the format is key=value

[candid thorn]

Thanks man. Wish people put examples up

[jaunty oak]

You could always open a PR to add an example to the documentation

The assumption is that people already know this stuff

[candid thorn]

I think programmers should acknowledge that there a lot of hobbiests out there using these tools. I could have saved myself and people like you a lot of time by just seeing a few examples. 🙂 Thanks for the help

[jaunty oak]

I think you underestimate how difficult it is to write documentation for a programmer, and how difficult it is to remove all the assumptions that you don't even realize you have from your documentation

[candid thorn]

You're right. I probably do. You're right though. I could contribute by providing examples and documentation

OK the container is up and running but I see this. The ports are open in my firewall

I've confirmed that the container is running

[candid thorn]

docker log

[jaunty oak]

And you are requesting on port 3000?

[candid thorn]

192.168.1.113:3000 is what i'm typing i my browser

[jaunty oak]

Depending on your docker host, that port might not be available on the external interface

[candid thorn]

I was actually using the port for something else before and it was working fine.

Not sure if this is a docker problem or an rmfakecloud problem. How can there be a web interface without a webserver as part of the compose file?

[jaunty oak]

Another docker container you were/are running via docker compose?

[jaunty oak]

There is a web server, rmfakecloud

[candid thorn]

Yes. I stopped and deleted the container that was using the port before

[jaunty oak]

So depending on the network setup, it might not be binding to the host port, or the port for that network interface

[candid thorn]

ic so one wouldn't need to add nginx or apache since rmfakecloud is the server itself

[candid thorn]

I will try restarting

[jaunty oak]

rmfakecloud serves http requests itself, it doesn't use nginx or apache

- target: 80
  published: 8080
  mode: host

This is how I have my ports configured in my rmfakecloud docker-compose

[jaunty oak]

I don't think that is the issue

[candid thorn]

is that in the network section?

[jaunty oak]

I'm binding to port 80 in the container, but accessing it through port 8080 on the host

[jaunty oak]

No, ports

[candid thorn]

My compose

version: "3"
services:
  rmfakecloud:
    image: ddvk/rmfakecloud
    container_name: rmfakecloud
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - env
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

[jaunty oak]

https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#long-syntax-1

Use three ` on a line before and again after code to format it nicely

[candid thorn]

ok i will

[jaunty oak]

I don't see ports mapped here at all, so I don't expect it to work

You have to explicitly map ports to the host otherwise it wont be accessible

[candid thorn]

Oh I thought that was taken care of by the ENV file. My first time using one

version: "3"
services:
  rmfakecloud:
    image: ddvk/rmfakecloud
    container_name: rmfakecloud
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - env
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      - target: 80
        published: 3000
        mode: host

[jaunty oak]

The env file only sets the environment variables for the application, it can't configure networking on the host side

[candid thorn]

Oh ok.

I will doublecheck the rmfakecloud site to see if I missed something

[jaunty oak]

Did you change PORT to 80?

[candid thorn]

Fixed it "3000:3000"

[jaunty oak]

The port on the target needs to match the port that you've configured in the environment variables

The port that you expose on the host can be whatever you want

[candid thorn]

Ah I c. Thanks

Just gotta find the login now 😉

[candid thorn]

If I can't figure this out I will be creating a new support ticket soon. Combed through the instructions and the issues in github but still trying before I bug you all again

[jaunty oak]

https://ddvk.github.io/rmfakecloud/usage/userprofile/

[candid thorn]

saw that. Just figured out how to set the user but how do I set the password for the user? What does -a mean at the end rmfakecloud setuser -u ddvk -a

ok -a must be for "admin"

But what's the password?

[jaunty oak]

The next example shows you how to set/reset a password

[candid thorn]

I get an error saying unknown command "read"

[jaunty oak]

What did you run exactly?

If the shell on your host machine doesn't have read you have other problems.
