Solid (inrupt) local host server for windows 10 #1038

Open aaaagile opened 5 years ago

aaaagile commented 5 years ago

Good morning, I have a pod and now I would like to set up a local host on my laptop (windows 10) that will enable me to create (locally) my private data. No joy so far ( problem with setting up an ssl certificate).

My final aim is to move my web site (djb.mypi.co) to TBL's inrupt style. I build my site on Windows 10 (expression web) and export it to my Raspberry PI, where friends and relatives can see what I have been up to. I also store photo albums , music and bits and bobs re project management. I am now retired and still enjoy the potential of the internet. BIG fan of tbl! All help gratefully received ! regards djb

Could you please post some more details? What kind of error messages are you seeing?

Possibly, the forum is a better place too, since none of the developers are using Windows.

Hi, I don't see any. I require an idiots guide (I guess) to get started.

Hi, https://github.com/rimmartin/node-solid-server/tree/master/bin by making two cmd scripts solid.cmd & solid-test.cmd I'm able to stand this server up. If you need self certs I showed how on the forum https://forum.solidproject.org/t/pell-mell-on-setting-up-a-solid-server-on-windows/651/6?u=rimmartin using node-forge and other posts.

Thanks, I'll take my time over this and see how it goes. I have just finished triing to run a Unix environment on Windows 10 under vanguard. Without success djb

melvincarvalho commented 5 years ago

@aaaagile good luck!

If you are able to say what steps you took. And what problem you see, it will be easier to trouble shoot.

melvincarvalho commented 5 years ago

@rimmartin thank you for the pointers to the cmd scripts

I dont run a windows box any more. Are you saying that the solid script in bin, is not executable on windows?

RubenVerborgh commented 5 years ago

Assigned @joachimvh, who has been working on Windows issues lately.

Hi @melvincarvalho , without linux emulation or I believe Windows does provide a linux env but I'm not using it, windows doesn't know what to do with launching as described for linux .

The https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/blob/release/v5.0.0/bin/solid-test is a bash script which calls https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/blob/release/v5.0.0/bin/solid which is a self running node script with a shebang(#!/usr/bin/env node). Pure Windows 10 won't know what to do with them.

Now I've seen conversations here about changing these linux scripts (https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/issues/954) as well so I don't know if my windows equivalent cmd's are the future but I was able to stand node-solid-server on WIndows 10 with them.
