I cant edit notes

[bolavefasfas]

I have deployed it but cant edit the notes I can create new notes but unable to edit them any fix on this ? All the ports are open in my vps by default using vps ip and not domain

[7ekhed]

Hey there G,

Are you trying to access the site from an external domain? like a notes.yourdomain.com?

If so, in the scripts/config.sh, where it's setting up the outline-config and is asking for the IP Address and Port, ensure that

PORT:3000

is set for port, and that you have

IPADDRESS: notes.yourdomain.com:443

You MUST specify the external port there apparently, and must put the external access IP in there

For Nginx configuration, if you have it set to 0.0.0.0 for the container itself to host the IP of the container network, then specify the public IP as stated above, but if you're using internal like 192.168.1.100, make sure you specify the 443 or 80 port afterwards, like 192.168.1.100:443, it will not work right unless all is notated correctly

~

If this did not help, are you able to describe your configuration and upload / screenshot your config.sh to see if I am able to assist? I had problems with this for a week due to how I was trying to host it, but now that it's hosted on my domain and is working perfectly, I have a better understanding of how to troubleshoot this repository

Hey @7ekhed i'm going to hijack this post. I installed everything as in your previous response on another issue

I'm currently having the same problem as @bolavefasfas where i can create new workspaces and documents in them but other than the headline i cant edit anything else.

here is my config.sh if it is helping you

do you know what tf i'm doing wrong? :(

[steveberger-eww]

ok quick update - i got it to work (somehow) but when creating a new document i always have to wait a minute or two for it to be able to be editable.

also what i haven't got to work is file uploading and it always say's "connection to server lost" in the bottom right corner. maybe something up with the database container? thanks a lot G!

Wassup G, sorry I didn't see this ping, I'll hit you in the morning with a config comparison to see if I can help 🙏

@steveberger-eww Wassup G,

Main differences I am seeing,

URL=https://subdomain.url.com should be | URL=https://subdomain.url.com:443 HTTP_IP=0.0.0.0 HTTP_PORT_IP=8888

Please try modifying these and running "make stop" "make clean-data"(ONLY IF YOU HAVE NO DATA, JUST USE "make clean" IF YOU HAVE DATA) then "make install" / "make start" depending on if you clean-data or clean, and go to subdomain.url.com, or ip.of.the.host:8888

I wasnt able to get it to work on a vps though was able to get it work in lxc container hosted locally on my server with cloudflare domains without any issue.

If their is any way to make it work on vps it would be great let me know.

Update I was able to get it to work on tailscale ip and local ip and not on domain 🥲

Yo G,

There's a lot of differences I'm seeing here. My entire understanding of this is based on this GitHub repository and how it functions, it appears that you're using a higher version in an entirely different format to execute your outline server,

What I can tell you is that I don't have any allowed domains, my IP is 0.0.0.0, they're supposed to be a port 3000 that outline uses, though your website.com:443 is correct It is HTTPS, and not HTTP if you're using port 443, and I'm using Django auth in a local environment.

If you have the config.sh from this setup with your predefined variables, can you please paste that here so I may go over that and try and find a solution with you?

Tried the config you send I wasnt able to edit notes still

I will send my whole configraton or maybe show you my setup how should we connect ?

Hey my man,

sorry for the late response but thank you very much for helping me there! :) Fixed most of the troubles for me!

Also i finally got editing to work (and be published) by just adding two lines of code in my nginx config file. From my understanding there was something messing up websockets but i got it to work now with these lines of code:

        location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        **proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";**
    }

in case anyone else also get's a no server connection error!

now i have to figure out, why the hell it gives me a 401 when trying to log out but i'm on it :p
