Issue getting littr and fedbox to communicate with each other correctly

[jhert0]

Here is what is in my .env for littr

# HOSTNAME is used as the base for the absolute URLs in the site
HOSTNAME=littr.local
# LISTEN_PORT is the port number that the application will listen on for connections
LISTEN_PORT=3000
# LISTEN_HOST is the host/ip that the application will listen on for connections
LISTEN_HOST=localhost
# ENV the environment type sets different configuration settings, valid are: DEV, QA, STAGING, PROD
ENV=dev
# API_URL is the url of the fedbox instance that provides our C2S ActivityPub API
API_URL=http://fedbox.local
# SESS_AUTH_KEY is used for encrypting the session data
SESS_AUTH_KEY=16_chars_enc_key=
# SESS_ENC_KEY
SESS_ENC_KEY=16_chars_enc_key+
# OAUTH2_KEY the default OAuth2 key used by the frontend to connect to the C2S ActivityPub end-points
OAUTH2_KEY=1e2ba133-f4a5-4182-8540-309646e9ea59
# OAUTH2_SECRET the default OAuth2 secret used by the frontend
OAUTH2_SECRET=littr
# SESSIONS_BACKEND the backend to use for session storage, valid: cookie, fs
SESSIONS_BACKEND=fs
# DISABLE_SESSIONS setting this to true, makes the instance essentially read only, by disallowing user logins
DISABLE_SESSIONS=false
# DISABLE_DOWNVOTING disables allowing Dislike activities
DISABLE_DOWNVOTING=false
# DISABLE_VOTING disables all Like/Dislike activities
DISABLE_VOTING=false

Here is what is in my fedbox .env

HOSTNAME=fedbox.local
LISTEN=localhost:4000
ENV=dev
STORAGE=fs
STORAGE_PATH=.

I have littr.local and fedbox.local setup in /etc/hosts. I also have both littr and fedbox running behind a reverse proxy using nginx.

I ran these commands for setting up fedbox:

./bin/ctl bootstrap
./bin/ctl ap actor add admin
./bin/ctl oauth client add --redirectUri http://littr.local/auth/fedbox/callback

This is what I get when I go to littr.local

In the littr log I get this:

ERRO[0000] http://fedbox.local/actors/1e2ba133-f4a5-4182-8540-309646e9ea59: Unable to load from the AP end point: invalid status 404
ERRO[0000] Failed to load actor: Unable to load Actor: http://fedbox.local/actors/1e2ba133-f4a5-4182-8540-309646e9ea59
ERRO[0000] oauth2: cannot fetch token: 403 Forbidden

OK, I see. From what I can see you have two issues.

1. The session can not be saved - if you're on a linux machine /tmp/fedbox.local should be writable by the user that runs the application - this is the error in the screenshot "Failed to save session". I guess I'll add a followup task to make session path more configurable, or use the STORAGE_PATH.
2. The second issue, is that the application can't load the generated OAuth2 application that you configured in the settings. Can you please access the url from the error: http://fedbox.local/actors/1e2ba133-f4a5-4182-8540-309646e9ea59 and paste the log from fedbox, with maybe a screenshot of the result?

[jhert0]

On the vm running littr I have /tmp/littr.local folder and the user running littr can write to it.

Log from fedbox:

ERRO[0003] Not Found addr="127.0.0.1:36538" elapsed=1.47849ms id=fedbox/sxsPfDPG0z-000001 len=6640 method=GET proto=HTTP/1.0 scheme=http status=404 ts="Tue, 14 Jul 2020 17:00:30 UTC" ua="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0" uri="http://localhost:4000/actors/1e2ba133-f4a5-4182-8540-309646e9ea59"

Error from going to that url:

I suspect that this issue might be related to #38. I'll come back with a followup when I find a fix for it.

[mariusor]

Hey @endoffile78 I think I fixed the issue by fixing the bootstrap command for fedbox. Can you please give it a spin and let me know if it fixes this issue too?

Hey @endoffile78 can you test again ? I did some improvements to bootstrapping/initial run in for issue #38, and I want to know if it fixes your problem too. Let me know please. :)

No, I'm still having some problems, the one I described in https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox/issues/6 seems to be fixed.

When starting littr I get:

ERRO[0000] http://fedbox.local/objects?context=-&type=Article&type=Note&type=Link&type=Page&type=Document&type=Video&type=Audio: Unable to load from the AP end point: invalid status 404 
ERRO[0000] http://fedbox.local/objects?type=Article&type=Note&type=Link&type=Page&type=Document&type=Video&type=Audio: Unable to load from the AP end point: invalid status 404 

I get this on the littr homepage:

Those are not fatal issues.

The error in the screenshot is related to the browser sending a session cookie to go-littr, but no session exists for it.

The 404 errors from fedbox are there just because the fedbox.local/objects collection doesn't exist until you save something in it. As soon as you add a submission they will be gone.
