Yep

You can omit the -d to put it in the foreground during the testing phase

ok now I get curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 3000: Connection refused for both curl http and https

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

Try

docker-compose down
docker volume rm database-data upload-data
docker-compose up and inspect the output

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

docker-compose logs codimd gives only Attaching to

ssh terminal is unresponsive

ah it's back

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

Setting the CMD_HOST env variable to 127.0.0.1 in a Docker setup will deny access to all users.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

ok those data files didn't exist

docker-compose up yields a bunch of errors: ERROR: password authentication failed for user "codimd"

also when I modify the two passwords in the .yml file

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

The two passwords in the yml file should be identical

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

I know

here is the complete output without several repetitions: https://pastebin.com/cEHQVtfY

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

so yeah :) not the smoothest install ever...

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

I might have to do a manual install

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

Try use this configuration instead: https://pastebin.com/M6ZpNb39

Don't change anything, even the password, simply start it with docker-compose up -d

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

alright

ok - now curl http://localhost:3000 returns the code for a web page by the looks of it

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

What about the web browser?

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to localhost:3000 still for https

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

That's expected as the site isn't really HTTPS

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

web browser on my computer pointing to the URL still gives web hoster's error page

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

I suppose something in the VPS blocked it :-/

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

right, so add port 3000 to the iptables somehow?

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

Not necessary as Debian don't block any ports by default

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

entering the IP address instead of URL gives a refused to connect error

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

That's also expected as cURL defaults to the 80 port which is not open.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

I'm comparing your .yml with the default one... `volumes:

  - ./database-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data` has quotation marks in the default

oops, markup

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

I mount the volume right under the working directory, this avoids the problem where the data in the named volume interferes with the application.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

- ./upload-data:/home/hackmd/app/public/uploads lacks the ./ in the original

isn't it strange that your version does give a curl result and the vanilla one doesn't? is there a bug in the vanilla version?

or perhaps just a mismatch with my particular VPS

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

There's multiple factors influencing whether you get the wrong response, I would say it is a user-end issue.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

ah, IP:3000 does work in my browser

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

I can verify that the vanilla setup works on a clean Debian 10 machine.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

alright, then it must be some VPS configuration issue I guess

thank you very much for your help!

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

np.

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

oh btw, can you tell me which docker installation guide/method you used just now, for the vanilla verification?

perhaps that makes a difference

林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin)

@Lin-Buo-Ren

The exact same one at https://hackmd.io/c/codimd-documentation/%2Fs%2Fcodimd-docker-deployment#Using-docker-compose-to-setup-CodiMD

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

ah yes, I mean docker itself

or do you think that can't make a difference

Steven Kruyswijk

@kruithoph_twitter

right now, if I take this working example (that shows CodiMD in the browser at IP:port) and add - CMD_DOMAIN=url.com to the .yml, it just breaks the CSS on IP:port

and shows an error message from my domain/VPS provider on url.com. would that point to an issue on their side?

apologies for asking this many questions here - if there's more documentation about this stuff I'd love to read it
