Does HFS3 works on VM Ubuntu 20.04 ARM?

[accnetdev]

Hi, My internet box (freebox) provide VM support but they are ARM based not X86. Any chance to get HFS3 working on this?

Cheers.

[rejetto]

i can consider making an executable for linux-arm, but did you try this? https://github.com/rejetto/hfs#other-systems

[accnetdev]

No I have not tried, I am going to try it and will inform you in this thread.

Thanks and congratulations for HFS2 and HFS3, these are really great software I use a lot.

On a 20.04 ARM :

On a 22.04 X86 (an ESX VM at work) :

A system service is running, but I don't know how to get Admin Panel. Where is the yaml file to configure, sorry I don't know how nodejs or npx works?

The output sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable hfs && sudo systemctl start hfs && sudo systemctl status hfs Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/hfs.service → /etc/systemd/system/hfs.service. ● hfs.service - HFS Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hfs.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-09-14 15:45:32 CEST; 12ms ago Main PID: 7968 (node) Tasks: 1 (limit: 9360) Memory: 1.9M CPU: 3ms CGroup: /system.slice/hfs.service └─7968 node /usr/bin/npx -y hfs@latest

npm was missing after it is install on the ARM VM 20.04 :

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable hfs && sudo systemctl start hfs && sudo systemctl status hfs ● hfs.service - HFS Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hfs.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-09-14 14:22:42 UTC; 82ms ago Main PID: 3777005 (node) Tasks: 1 (limit: 8827) Memory: 164.0K CGroup: /system.slice/hfs.service └─3777005 node /usr/bin/npx -y hfs@latest

sept. 14 14:22:42 fbxvmpdb systemd[1]: Started HFS.

The service is now working on the ARM VM and on the X86 VM, but my problem is to get the Admin GUI and the config.yaml file to configure HFS3. It is the first time is try to use HFS3 under linux X86 or ARM. Please help.

[rejetto]

this is how you can configure https://github.com/rejetto/hfs#configuration

you are in the case where you cannot browse localhost with your browser, and neither access the console (because you running as a service). I modified installation instructions for a case like yours: https://github.com/rejetto/hfs#installation You are already at step 4. As you can see you are left with 2 options. Please let me know if it's clear enough, otherwise we can try to improve instructions.

[rejetto]

if you have an idea on how to make it easier, please let me know

[accnetdev]

Sorry not enough clear to me.

the browser should automatically open on localhost address, so you can configure the rest in the Admin-panel. if a browser cannot be opened on the computer where you are installing HFS, you should enter this command in HFS console: create-admin I HAVE NO CONSOLE NOT AN OPTION if you are running as a service and cannot access the console, your best option is to stop it, launch it at command line (not as a service), and follow previous instruction. I KNOW HOW TO STOP THE SERVICE, BUT HOW TO LAUNCH HFS AT COMMAND LINE? I TRIED /usr/bin/npx -y hfs@latest IT DOES NOT WORK. if you can never access the console, even with the previous instructions, you can edit config file add add your admin account WHAT IS THE NAME (config.yaml?) AND WHERE IS STORED THE CONFIG FILE If you access Admin-panel via localhost, by default HFS won't require you to login. If you don't like this behavior, disable it in the Admin-panel or enter this console command config localhost_admin false.

AT THE MOMENT I CAN'T LAUNCH HFS, I WILL HELP YOU TO TEST/IMPROVE WHEN IT WILL WORK ;-)

[rejetto]

I TRIED /usr/bin/npx -y hfs@latest IT DOES NOT WORK.

never say "does not work" without specify what happens ;-)

WHAT IS THE NAME (config.yaml?) AND WHERE IS STORED THE CONFIG FILE

yes, the information is reported in the homepage. I will see to copy it in the other document as well, for easier retrieval https://github.com/rejetto/hfs#where-is-it-stored so, the answer is USER_FOLDER/.hfs/config.yaml

[accnetdev]

Yes, it ask for a parameter.

I do not find .hfs folder, I know that the . (dot) means it is hidden, but there are no .hfs in my user folder or root folder...

ERREUR : Vous devez fournir une commande.

something seems wrong with your node.js installation. see what node -v prints. you need at least version 16, possibly 18.

you don't find the folder because you never executed hfs successfully , or so it seems

[rejetto]

closed as stale

[accnetdev]

Hi, On the ARM VM, node -v get v10.19.0 You said: "you don't find the folder because you never executed hfs successfully , or so it seems" but how to execute hfs when you don't know where is installed the executable?

[rejetto]

ok, so you have v10, but I wrote that you need 16. Actually is 18 at the moment.

[accnetdev]

On this topic, the version of nodejs is OK and I have the same behaviour.
