Your website (www.bottlecaps.de) seems to be down for users who don't have IPv6 - any plans to fix that? #31

Closed vsajip closed 8 months ago

vsajip commented 8 months ago

Thanks very much for this software, it's really useful and looks very nice, too! I've noticed over the past week that I can't access www.bottlecaps.de any more from my home network (which is running IPv4 only - no IPv6 support). I've confirmed that DNS appears to only return an IPv6 address:

$ nslookup www.bottlecaps.de
Server:     127.0.0.53
Address:    127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.bottlecaps.de   canonical name = bottlecaps.dynv6.net.
Name:   bottlecaps.dynv6.net
Address: 2a00:6020:5044:f400:92b1:1cff:fe97:fdae

Do you have any plans to reinstate IPv4 support?

Duplicate of #28 (which should probably be pinned even though it is closed).

vsajip commented 8 months ago

I'm willing to try hosting this on a server I have available, since I don't have IPv6 available through my ISP :cry: @GuntherRademacher, would this be acceptable to you? It would probably be on a domain such as rr.red-dove.com (red-dove.com is a domain I own).

The code is open source in this repository and can be hosted as a Java servelet. Given the Apache license I'm sure you can host it wherever you like for your own use or even to share. Of course you can just use it locally too. That won't make it the official site though.

By the way you can reach the existing site through Tor if you're looking for a way to reach IPv6 only sites from IPv4 only networks.

vsajip commented 8 months ago

Thanks for the tip about Tor. I know the license allows the code to be used, and I do use it locally - but clearly I'm not the only one who has no IPv6 available, and I sometimes work from different sites and might want to have access when I'm there. Just offering an alternative - and since Gunther's name is on the web interface, I thought I would ask him as a courtesy. I was thinking of making minor changes to a version I host to mention that the site isn't the official one, why it exists, etc.

I've used this tool for years and it is my go-to tool for visualizing grammars for DSLs I code. For years it has been one of the very first bookmarks on any machine I own. I was very surprised when I found that after several years of using this wonderful tool, I could no-longer access it. When did this change? And is it only those with ipv4 that have issues? Ive got a server in a data center but I run an apache lamp stack and no tomcat. Perhaps I should look into setting up something that can run this. Anyone know if apache supporting php and python can also support tomcat and how to set it up?

vsajip commented 8 months ago

You don't need Tomcat; I just run java -jar rr.war -gui -port:NNNN using a process control system such as Supervisor (to control restarts etc.) and proxy to that port from nginx. I expect you can do the same with Apache.

Sorry, but no.

@GuntherRademacher, would this be acceptable to you? It would probably be on a domain such as rr.red-dove.com (red-dove.com is a domain I own).

Fine by me.

GuntherRademacher commented 8 months ago

To run it standalone from a command line, you need nothing but a JRE (at least Java 11) and rr.war. I usually do this with this command:

java -jar rr.war -gui -port:8001

and then access http://localhost:8001 from the browser.

Note that this uses the JRE's internal HTTP server. I am unsure about the multi-user behavior of this approach, so you might want to run some tests. Otherwise I'd rather use a real servlet container.

Monotoba commented 8 months ago

Thanks for the info. I apache has a powerful forward/reverse proxy system so I can make that work!

I have made it available on https://rr.red-dove.com/ - thank you Gunther! I'm assuming for now that the JRE internal HTTP server should be fine, but we'll see.

Thanks a lot. I have added a link to README.md.
