Resource unavailable error #3

Closed masukomi closed 6 years ago

masukomi commented 6 years ago

After running the digital ocean one click installer and getting no UI i attempted to run the server (found it in a thread on ssb) 

root@ssb-pub:~# ./sbot server
flumelog-offset: blockSize and codec params moved into an object. https://github.com/flumedb/flumelog-offset
Log level: notice

events.js:183
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
OpenError: IO error: lock /home/node/.ssb/db/LOCK: Resource temporarily unavailable

root@ssb-pub:~#

it should be noted that /home/node is not a valid directory via normal means even though the erroring code seems to be there. Maybe this is some aspect of docker that i don't understand (i'm pretty ignorant about docker)

$ ls /home/
debian

also, the first time i ran it i hit control+c after a minute or two of it seeming to not be doing anything at all and yet not giving me a prompt back. maybe i borked something by doing that?

hey @masukomi, this is erroring because sbot server is already running. there's no ui you're missing out on, if there was i would have said something about it in the instructions. a ui for generating invites would be sweet though!

ok so, i'm totally confused then (putting this here for the next confused person). When i click on the link to a pub from the wiki, there's a web ui. Where does that come from and how do i turn it on?

hey @masukomi, yeah sorry for quick answer above, just woke up. you're thinking of staltz/easy-ssb-pub, which is a similar but different ssb pub setup that also runs a ui for automatically generating invites. i used to use that for @ssb.rootsystems.nz, which helped get us at least a few thousand new people on-board, but i found the setup more unreliable and harder for me to fix, plus i want to transition away from pubs with automatic invites to more personal ecosystem growth.
