Installation problems #221

Closed outdoorbits closed 1 year ago

outdoorbits commented 1 year ago

Hello, at first thank you very much as you allow my project littlebackupbox to connect everywhere. Now I'm facing a problem on my installation routine: wget https://davesteele.github.io/comitup/latest/davesteele-comitup-apt-source_latest.deb sudo dpkg -i --force-all davesteele-comitup-apt-source_latest.deb

installs in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/davesteele-comitup.list deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/davesteele-archive-keyring.gpg] http://davesteele.github.io/comitup/repo comitup main But this link http://davesteele.github.io/comitup/repo leads to 404 File not found.

Of course, I could change my installation process, but I would prefer the old way. Do you still maintain https://davesteele.github.io/comitup/latest/davesteele-comitup-apt-source_latest.deb?

Thank you!

The 404 on the /repo directory is an artifact of GitHub's web service. The repo is there. An "apt update" should verify that.

I verified that the maintenance scripts still update e.g. https://davesteele.github.io/comitup/latest/davesteele-comitup-apt-source_latest.deb, and that the link is working for me.

A note about your README - for the most part, your users shouldn't need to know about 10.41.0.1. Anything that understands captive portals (Apple stuff, anything running Firefox - I use my smart phone) will load the configuration page automatically.

Thank you for the note. But using different ports, comitup is also my key to connect my web-UI by this IP but another port number. But I will mention this function in my readme.

I just tried it again and it's true, apt update shows no problems. A user opened an issue and the artefact link looked like the solution to me. Thank you again!

There are a number of strategies for detecting captive portals. The standard one, involving DHCP, can support moving to different ports.

But, you would probably be better served by sharing the port.
