Fails to build on Debian Bullseye

[Compizfox]

Hi,

I am trying to build and install slurm-web on Debian Bullseye as per installation.rst.

First, I encountered #130. I installed node-opentypejs_0.4.3-2_all.deb from https://people.debian.org/~ana/slurmweb/.

Now, I get the following error when trying to build slurm-web:

I am unsure how to proceed further. Am I missing another nodejs package?

Same for me, but on Ubuntu 20.10

[jochym]

Same from me: debian buster. I actually succeeded to make a docker image with modified sources and it showed jobs list and correct 3D view but racks and jobs-map pages show no racks at all. Actually my previous install spontaneously stopped working in the same way. Please make some updated build/install instructions. The present code has references to some ancient slurm versions and is not compatible with current jQuery and Flask. I have made some corrections but it is not working properly (https://github.com/jochym/slurm-web). This is really frustrating because it looks nice.

Please provide some working example - otherwise all your work goes to waste essentially.

Same problem here on bullseye. It would be really nice if pre-build deb's were available for this. I cannot get it to function.

This issue concerns Slurm-web v2 which is not maintained anymore. You are highly encouraged to test the new version v3.0.0 that is not impacted by this issue. Prebuilt packages are available for all most popular Linux distributions, including Debian among others. The quick start guide for v3.0.0 is available online: https://docs.rackslab.io/slurm-web/install/quickstart.html

Unless someone is motivated to maintain the old version of Slurm-web or you have a justified reason to keep this issue open, it will be closed in a few weeks.

For the reasons explained in the previous comment, I finally close this issue.
