error when running iris first time

lee2sman commented 11 months ago

Hi, I'm the admin of a server and trying to install iris. Just after a fresh install, I moved iris to /usr/local/bin and made it executable by all. Upon first run it asked me to create a fresh message file. After re-running iris, I get this error.

I commented out that line 42 and have had no ill effects so far and now finally iris runs for all users. I'm running ruby 3.2.2.

ctrl-c.club runs ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [x86_64-linux-gnu], the newer version might be the source of the issue.

I'm pretty sure the issue here is that the hostname is a single word. I created a pull request to handle that case, adding a unit test that was failing before the PR. Cheers!
