Simpler way to create invites #7

Closed timjrobinson closed 6 years ago

timjrobinson commented 6 years ago

I just created a new pub using the docker container on my server, however it took ~2 minutes for ssb to start for some reason (still unsure why).

I noticed the command to create invites in the README basically spawns a new container just to run the invite.create command, and this doesn't work for me because the sbot server hasn't started yet. I get the following:

Error: Could not connect to the scuttlebot server.
Use the "server" command to start it.

I discovered there's a much simpler way to create invites. With the following:

docker exec -it sbot sbot invite.create 1

My docker container is called sbot, This is just executing the command sbot invite.create 1 inside of it. It might make sense to add this to the README.

Interesting.. I also installed this pub and it replicates fine (using an established key) but I can't interact with it. Execing into it and running sbot commands, it just stalls, also whoami.

But I also see a lot of the Error: wrong number errors with this installation but not from localhost so I don't think that's the proble... Good to hear that it should work, since I thought docker should contain differences away....
