Quick Question

[tough junco]

<@&634618551491100692> Anyone?

[weak estuary]

Deploying it to a cloud provider should be the same/similar steps to what you did locally?

https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting#manual

What issues are you running into?

[tough junco]

I already read it. in my case I want to migrate from local machine to remote vps host

what configuration changes to make?

[weak estuary]

IMO the best thing to do in this case would be to deploy a new instance of appwrite to your cloud provider, then utilize migrations within the appwrite console to tranfer functions/users/data/etc

[tough junco]

and ports?

you mean fresh installation on vps and then transfer ?

it's installing, what domain will it use? my vps ip?

[weak estuary]

You would use your vps ip until you provide a domain

[tough junco]

it throwed an error

80 already in use

[weak estuary]

it's probably port 443 for ssl

[tough junco]

for domain i entered domain and for A record i entered vps ip

[weak estuary]

update the environment variables to reflect the domain

[tough junco]

how? this is fresh installation

i deleted appwrite folder

[weak estuary]

oof

You'll probably need to remove the appwrite docker containers

[tough junco]

yeah am doing it

what now?

it throwed error

kindly help me step by step now

    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
    --entrypoint="install" \
    appwrite/appwrite:1.6.0```


i am running this command

[weak estuary]

when you run that command what error occurs?

[tough junco]

just now

cleared and removed all containers

volume

and everything

now?

[weak estuary]

yea, just follow the steps it gives you

[tough junco]

i did it last time

port 80 is being used by nginx i think

[weak estuary]

realistically I think you can pick any port you want, but many ports are already claimed by other services.

[tough junco]

8080 for http
8443 for https?

[weak estuary]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

yea 8080 is commonly an alternate port for 80

[tough junco]

kk am going for it

can i type domain I want to use?

[weak estuary]

yea

[tough junco]

vps ip?

??? vps ip or domain?

[weak estuary]

I think your domain

[tough junco]

that is not a good answer

[weak estuary]

sorry it's been a really long time since I ran this command myself for my instance.

[tough junco]

kk then, am going for ip

Appwrite installed successfully

next step?

why ???

[weak estuary]

probably your nginx instance causing issue, I've not got experience with that so I don't have much to offer.

[tough junco]

should i ask hostinger?

[tough junco]

yo @weak estuary

appwrite is live now. how to migrate my data

[daring light]

From where?

[tough junco]

local appwrite to vps appwrite

• database - collections
• functions
• storage
• message providers

only the setup, since it was development so there is no user data

@daring light @weak estuary

[daring light]

The self-hosted instance needs to be publicl accessible to migrate

If you want to keep everything in the same way as the local instance, you will need to backup and restore the backup manually in the server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM5yZEPtlvg

[tough junco]

1 question

each appwrite function has a different id and goes with the domain

i have cloud.appwrite.com how will functions work? do i have to listen for ***.cloud.appwrite.com ?

*** is for function id

[tough junco]

bro a little help

i think i forgot password or it is changed somehow

after restoration I am unable to login

i tried both local email password and newly installed as well

[daring light]

Double check you have set the same OpenSSL key in the env var settings

[daring light]

Aren't you using a VPS?

[tough junco]

damn bro, you are genius

migrated successfully

now logged in

and one more thing for password reset it says smtp disabled but i have smtp enabled

and another thing how can i prevent others to signup or something like that

and also functions, functions create separate subdomain that is not accessable how to fix that

[daring light]

You need to set first the env variable prior to setting the server in the console

[tough junco]

ok

[tough junco]

I created a wildcard domain

but how to make it listen to the functions

@daring light _APP_DOMAIN_FUNCTIONS=*.domain.tld can i do this?

[night reef]

No

Just put the wildcard domain there so if you made a wildcard domain *.functions.appwrite.com then insert functions.appwrite.com

[tough junco]

it says not 404 nginx error

[night reef]

Your setup is to blame

If you would put nginx out of the equation it should work

[tough junco]

uhhmmmm okay, so how to fix it

[night reef]

What is your nginx config

[tough junco]

directly from docker?

[night reef]

Traefik already acts as the reverse proxy

What's your use case for nginx

[tough junco]

2 websites 1 telegram bot

[night reef]

Did you cnfigure the nginx config yourself?

[tough junco]

can it be done without nginx? using docker or traefik

yes

[night reef]

It can be done. Your config is just wrong

If I were you I would just ask ChatGPT about this

You can also post it here

[tough junco]

fine, so if i reset my os and start from scratch

??

[night reef]

I mean before you have to wipe everything just put nginx out of the equation and serve via traefik directly

It should work because I have used it this way before

[tough junco]

u mean uninstall nginx and install traefik>

[night reef]

just systemctl stop nginx

[tough junco]

any beginner commands for me?

[night reef]

and stop the other website as well

So port 80 and 443 is only reserved for appwrite traefik for now

[tough junco]

stopped

everything

and nginx

now?

[night reef]

Have you made any changes to the appwrite docker-compose file?

If not then just start it

[tough junco]

made changes to env

[night reef]

Should be fine

[tough junco]

ok, so what am i going to do about other apps

and btw appwrite is not working correctly perhaps. it is not loggin in and now loading....

[night reef]

What we are doing right now is to debug the problem you have

After that we have to make sure the nginx config is correct

[night reef]

Is it a new instance?

[tough junco]

bro 😂

let me reset my machine

and restore data
