After I finish the intial setup, unable to interact with app #99

Hey all. Trying this out and I got the relay installed manually on my local machine. Scanned the QR code with the app, and got through the setup process. Now I am on the dashboard with +Friend, +Group buttons, etc. My issue is that whatever I click it just shows the loading circle. I cant add or join anything. Just perpetual loading. Also whenever I click the "profile" option, the app hard crashes. Thanks for any ideas.

Are you seeing a yellow or green bolt on the upper right? Also, any information you can provide on the network setup you're using (tor?) and app (iOS or Android?)

Sure. There is usually a yellow bolt in the corner that appears after a long loading circle animation. My LND node is tor enabled, but I have external IP also set for remote access with other apps (zeus, zap). Using the android APK.

Sounds like the app is not reaching relay, or for some reason not authenticated.

Can you see the relay logs?

What's the default logs file out of ~/sphinx-relay/ dir? Can't find any logs file. I may be blind.

I found that Android will let you get through the initial setup even though you never successfully connected to the node. On iPhone you are not allowed past step 1 if the phone can't connect to the relay. I suspect you have a reachability issue with your relay. I had to specify "https://" and the :port number for the "public_url" setting. After you start the systemd service you can run this command and you should see your phone interacting with your relay: journalctl -u sphinx-relay -f
