[Unknown] it’s such a weird thing that we have not seen before Gerald … let’s see if we can find a work around for you .
What would you like to do with platform? Would you like to develop it or just to run it?
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] For now i will like to run it
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] and develop other features on it
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] in 2015 i started working on it in Ghana but that was on version 2
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] I need to see the new features on version 3 or 4 and probably test it in our upcoming election
[David Losada, Ushahidi] I see. An alternative way to get the software running , is to use Docker as a container platform. Is that something you may be familiar with?
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] yes i am familiar with docker
Sameroom
@sameroom-bot
[David Losada, Ushahidi] mm great!
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] Do you have the installation steps for docker containers
[David Losada, Ushahidi] and run “docker-compose up”
[David Losada, Ushahidi] this is not the latest code, but it gives you both the API and the frontend up in one go
[David Losada, Ushahidi] (you were only working with the API so far)
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] my previous installation will not after this
[David Losada, Ushahidi] there are some more instructions and details in the repository of that repo
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] OK
[David Losada, Ushahidi] *the readme of that repo :)

[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] Sameroom Can i change the port from 80 to 8000
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] the migration had completed on the docker installatioon
[29:1ywoz-V4I1IKiPouk7sZ0jJKRM6e_DnFvXZLWTnnr4AM] the migration had completed on the docker installation
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] but when i type localhost:8000 it is showing blank page
[29:1ywoz-V4I1IKiPouk7sZ0jJKRM6e_DnFvXZLWTnnr4AM] but when i type http://localhost:8000 it is showing blank page
[David Losada, Ushahidi] Gerald, how did you change it to port 8000 ? Probably you found the “ports” section in the docker-compose file. It should look something like : “8000:80" . Then you would need to docker-compose stop your containers and start them again
Sameroom
@sameroom-bot
[Gerald Emmanuel Thomas] because port 80 is already in use
[David Losada, Ushahidi] yea, so you would change the first number in the port specification only . The second “80” shouldn’t change as that is on the container side.
