not start

[mulano1977]

me again :)

The bot doesn't start in tmux for me. I downloaded the current IGReelsBot-2.12.0-linux-x64.tar, unpacked it and put it on my server. Started tmux with "tmux new -s instagram" in the bot's folder and started node "Instagram Reels Bot". Then get an error:

Instagram Reels Bot:1
ELEVEN

It is not written in JS (so no node) and is already compiled. Just do ./Instagram Reels Bot to launch it.

okay works :) is there a guide for MongoDB how it should work under Linux? Subscribing only works with that, right?

[bman46]

Subscribe only works with mongo db. You could probably just find a guide on YouTube/Google, but I would suggest using the free tier on MongoDB’s cloud site.

okay thanks for the tip :) does he then automatically post new content?

[bman46]

Yes, it will automatically post new content every couple hours (as defined in the config). Note that it is not instant.

[mulano1977]

now have mongodb installed on my server. what is the link to the db? "MongoDBUrl": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017", or "MongoDBUrl": "mongodb://username:password@127.0.0.1:27017", doesn't seem to work. Do you have a tip for me?

Do I still have to create tables or does he do it himself? The bot just says "Sorry, Something went wrong..." when I want to subscribe to someone

[bman46]

What error shows in the console?

But the username is correct -.-

Usually means that the bot cannot access instagram to log in. Are you using a cloud platform or home lab? Cloud platforms usually get blacklisted/blocked by IG.

[mulano1977]

no, I rented a dedicated server with a fixed IP. Try turning the firewall on and off. unfortunately it doesn't work with the firewall switched off either. Too bad, only fails at login :(

[bman46]

Likely due to IP association with the VPS; static IPs wont help as the ASN is still associated with the cloud provider. Try logging in on a browser on the server.

[mulano1977]

well don't use a graphical interface in Linux. Especially since the IP would remain the same in the browser. Too bad actually. Maybe it will work later when I come back. Thank you for your effort and your time :)

[bman46]

For the browser, you could use an SSH tunnel from your main computer to the server to access websites through its network. The IP will remain the same in the browser, but trying to access the site from the browser sometimes allows the bot to get through.
