Install report on Dreamhost.com. I have jsi symlinked to jsish binary.

Note here I had to answer Y to the blind SSL prompt, as before in Windows WSL.

At this point links text browser is launched automatically in the bash console but doesn't appear to be usable. Pointing a browser from my desktop at my-domain.dreamhosters.com/pdq shows web pages but there doesn't appear to be any live content. Using my-domain.dreamhosters.com:43339/pdq instead times out with no connection.

Rather than uname, can you cat /etc/issue to try and determine the linux distribution used.

Like the Windows WSL problems, these are likely due to the way SSL is integrated in the distro on dreamhost.

pcmacdon commented 3 years ago

To my knowledge on a "normal" distribution using an fossil with SSL does not require responding to SSL related prompts.

Obviously due to the sensitive nature of SSL (ie. used for financial transactions) integration into an OS is never going to be routine. Also, hackers will always routinely be attacking that interface.

For those reasons, I generally use SSH:

fossil remote
ssh://jsish.org//var/www/fossil/pdq.fossil

Not sure if that helps your problem or not.

maphew commented 3 years ago

As far as I know ssh can't be used anonymously though right? Anyway I don't think that's the central issue. After setting the remote server manually to match the https url in the fossil info comment fossil sync works.

I feel like missing too much background to troubleshoot meaningfully. I'm going to turn my attention to just reading the docs and studying the code. I think I'm missing some fundamentals, like how Vue operates on it's own let alone in jsi+fossil+vue.

Correct, ssh can not be anonymous. But of course we're talking "sync" here. And the problems your battling are with fossil.

I sympathize: There is a pretty steep learning curve with Js, Vue, and web frameworks in general.
