Setup mistake

[mschipperheyn]

I made a bit of a mistake during setup. I followed the recipe, but the port on my app was set to 5000 in stead of 5555, so I ran into issues when I tried to apply 5555. Duplicate entries etc.

I removed those but I cannot restart my app anymore because the tld directory is not there.

Can you guys give me some suggestions how to best revert the situation so I can try again

What is the best way to recover from this? I'm stuck. I cannot deploy the website anymore nor seem to have a clear path to undo what the plugin got done before failure occurred. E.g. how do I remove the 443 nginx website config? If I manually remove, it justs gets reconstituted when I run dokku proxy:ports-remove myapp http:443:5000

[joshmanders]

I'm not exactly sure what you did or how to fix it.. You should have just ran 3 commands and been done...

[mschipperheyn]

Ok, what I did was follow the recipe to the letter. My PORT.web.1 was 5000 however, not sure if that's the issue. I also have the wildcard in the domain names. Not sure if let's encrypt like's that

[joshmanders]

Lets Encrypt does not support wildcards yet. January they come to the CA, but tools won't adopt them for a while.

I believe web default port is 5000. So I think your wildcard messed up stuff.

[mschipperheyn]

The actual obvious issue is that

  ssl_certificate     /home/dokku/myapp/tls/server.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /home/dokku/myapp/tls/server.key;

were not created. I'm not an expert on Dokku, but perhaps there is a good way to manually create those? I tried the certbot but it fails because nginx won't start because of these issues.

I tried removing the ports so I can at least resume normal operation, but that also failed.

I also tried manually removing the 443 section in the nginx.conf but that just gets reconstituted when I run a dokku command.

I'm fairly sure the solution should be simple. I just don't really know what steps to follow safely without bringing down the live site.

[joshmanders]

Try using the cert commands of the core dokku project to remove the certs and reset nginx so it restarts. Then try without wildcard.

[mschipperheyn]

Ok, yeah. This worked.

dokku proxy:ports-remove myapp 443
dokku domains:set myapp myapp.com.br www.myapp.com.br
dokku letsencrypt myapp

Thanks!

[joshmanders]

Awesome! No problem.

[mschipperheyn]

Some follow up suggestions without knowing enough about the inner workings.

• Perhaps the script should refuse to run if it detects a wildcard (until it's supported)
• Perhaps the default recipe should eliminate the manual dokku proxy:ports-add myapp http:80:5555 and dokku proxy:ports-add myapp http:433:5555 calls in favor of reading the port from PORT.web.1

PR's welcome.
