SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position 248

[treasuretron]

Hello Christian! I ran into issues a while ago with ssb-server so I kind of gave up on my pub for a while. But I've seen you recommend a few times that, 'ssb-server is deprecated, try ssb-daemon/cli'

So I fired those up with the same .ssb and am getting, SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position 248

But it runs fine when I blowaway .ssb. I recall once you suggested a couple directories within .ssb to wipe when running into a wonky feed... but I no longer recall. Ideas?

thanks!!!

ooook nevermind, I followed https://handbook.scuttlebutt.nz/faq/basics/delete and that seems to have worked!

ok so I figured it out it actually seems like a config issue. Not sure if this is an ssb-daemon or ssb-cli issue (or beyond the scope of either), but, here is the issue I'm at now:

my config file:

{ "connections": { "incoming": { "net": [ { "scope": "public", "host": "0.0.0.0", "external": ["teafry.me"], "transform": "shs", "port": 8008 } ] }, "outgoing": { "net": [{ "transform": "shs" }] } } }

It was causing the error above until I removed {"gossip":{"local":false}} that was at the very end.

So now ssb-daemon runs, but when I try to ssb invite create I get,

EDIT: got into a fight with npm. Uninstalled nvm, updated npm to 14.6.0. Now ssb invite create gives me,

¯_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT2: tried fiddling with config, no change. Tried reinstalling ssb-daemon to see if it would update whatever module that was having trouble, got libtool is required, but wasn't found on this system. Tried sudo apt install libtool-bin and reinstall ssb-daemon again, now getting libtoolize: error: Failed to create 'build-aux' during install...
