Good morning Fedi friends and happy Saturday! 🌈
File under: I'm such a clown sometimes. I did something extremely foolish yesterday (installation-wise) that bricked my whole YunoHost with Sharkey instance. This is not the fault of YunoHost or Sharkey, it's just me being the biggest airhead.
So this morning I nuked that VPS (Hetzner makes it so easy to start and stop) and, armed with a stopwatch, I wanted to see how long it would take me to order a new server, log in, install YunoHost and set up a main URL and a subdomain to log in.
I had this unique challenge that we're going hiking in the mountains so my time is very limited this morning.
How long did it take me? A grand total of 14 minutes.
The perks of being a fool is that you repeat the steps so many times that you go from being terrified (what do I have to do now?) to just sailing through the steps.
Time went like this:
1m30s: logged onto Hetzner, ordered a new server (Debian v12)
4m50s in: logged in, increased security, ran apt update and apt upgrade
5m in: installed YunoHost (thanks #curl)
7m30s in: with YunoHost successfully installed, I got into their beautiful graphical interface to continue the post install
9m30s in: post installation complete
11m 20s in: began tweaking DNS records for the main domain and the logging in subdomain, installed certificates, etc.
14m23s = all done, tripled checked that everything is working in incognito mode (it is) 🥳
Wishing you all a great day. Time to go hiking for me and my fam 🗻

#Sharkey installation attempt no.2

☺️ let's hope it works out this time around -
@elena I hope you have an enjoyable day in the mountains! :-)
@EdwinG thanks it was really nice! in between the mountain this morning and a bike ride in the afternoon I've squeezed in a new Sharkey installation. All fingers crossed 😅

@jan same as last time: when I access the URL I briefly see the Sharkey logo but the page then is blank 😢
then I had the brilliant idea of adding /login/ to the URL and I see the instance but I cannot log in.
In the YunoHost logs I see that there should be an admin user called « sharkey » although that doesn’t work.
I need to manually create the admin / first user and password in Terminal I think 🥲
Everyone is still asleep in the house so I need to wait a little bit. Thanks for the encouragement though 🙏

@elena ok, first attempt draw my server in broken state - I wasn't able to ssh into it. Interesting. Need to uninstall and start again.

@jan I installed it twice and always get the blank page… I tried to ssh into my server but got a wrong password last night. Which is weird, I use a password manager. You think the two may be connected?
Thanks for looking into it 🙏❤️
I’ll reset my VPS password in Hetzner console and take it from there…

@d1re_w0lf no... someone else I know also had issues with Sharkey... it's the first app packaged by YunoHost that is giving me such a headache. Usually the installation is seamless 😭

@EdwinG @evan what about troops? Or a citizen that has children and grandchildren that they care about living in the US? It's complex

Apropos of a throwaway comment by @quixoticgeek : how many folks here actually own a NeXT computer?
Do you own a NeXT ?

@etchedpixels Yes, and I don't doubt that the bonobos would have been the better choice

@astronomerritt You make a heartfelt plea for content warnings, but your plea is not helped by by your claim of "forcible viewing". People can scroll on.

A reminder that your mods can mark posts as sensitive. If you see someone posting that but don't want harsh action taken against them because it's clearly a mistake you should do a local report and leave a note to your mods to just mark those as sensitive.

@CiaraNi and in a dark corner of Arthur C Clarke's 2001 universe an ancient being of unimaginable power is going "See I told you we should have uplifted the damned bonobos instead"
