How can I finally change my frontend?

[maste9]

Hello and thanks for the step-by-step walkthrough for hosting pleroma via docker-compose.

Unfortunately I am still struggling with changing the frontend:

• I added

  config :pleroma, :frontends,
  primary: %{
  "name" => "fedi-fe",
  "ref" => "master"
  },
  admin: %{
  "name" => "admin",
  "ref" => "develop"
  }

  both to the config.exs and to the config-override.exs

• I put "fedi-fe" as "kenoma" under Primary in Admin FE
  • of course after activating indatabase configuration and
  • testing that successfully by changing the background image.
• Before I of course unziped and copied the corresponding zip-files into ./static/frontends (e.g. ./static/frontends/kenoma/master)
• I tried it with
  • docker-compose build again
  • docker-compose down and up -d again

But after all I always and forever get the pleroma default frontend. I also don't receive any valuable information regarding this with docker-compose logs -f ....

Do you have a hint for me, why I don't get the changes to affect the frontend?

And here an example what happens when I try to install by CMD

~ $ ./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install kenoma --ref mybuild --file /var/lib/pler
oma/static/frontends/tmp/kenoma-master.zip

I don't get why copying fails - expect there is no directory named dist of course ...

OK, found it out myself. I used the wrong zip-Files from the repos. Now after having used the build artifacts and dist as ref fedi-fe worked immediately

~ $ ./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install fedife --ref dist --build-url https://git
.pleroma.social/pleroma/fedi-fe/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=build_relea

How did you get the front ends to work? I have them installed, but I can't select them anywhere
