Installing kbin.social locally, anyone know what this issue might be?

Programming@kbin.social – 8 points – 1 years ago

Hey guys. I've been trying to get kbin.social running on my local machine outlined here but I'm running into issues

I've installed Docker Desktop for windows and I can see the containers being created but I'm getting errors on the front-end build stage, I've put it in a ticket here but not sure what else to do.

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/368

I've already got node, npm and yarn installed, I've done the following and I'm not making much progress

npm install yarn build

When I view the site locally its throwing errors.

I'm pretty new to docker and even yarn so I'm not sure what I should do next, any big brain thoughts from you guys by chance?

Seems to be a lot of 'looking for file router.min.js'. Could be a version conflict and it got moved?
So. Do you have the file on your system? Do you have a vendor folder with friendsofsymphony and inside that js routing bundle?

I have not tried to use docker for windows myself, but looking to see if a referenced folder exists under this type of error is pretty common. You may be able to find a js routing bundle version somewhere that has the referenced file or perhaps non-minified files that could be bundled together.

I was also under the impression this docker was for Debian, which is a Linux distribution. Are you running your windows docker in a simulated linux debian environment (or does it do that)? If you don't wish to install Debian or a virtual box for it, you might want to try getting a free Cloud Oracle VPS and setting up a Debian instance there - just beware of their extremely annoying double firewall which has often tripped me up.

Also, it is just called kbin, not kbin.social - the latter is the name of the website running kbin. -wink-

Cheers I'll give it a look too see if I can find those missing files, I was under the impression docker files could be ran anywhere, if it was made just to run on debian I might be out of luck. I've got the Linux subsystem for Windows installed (it's part of docker for Windows)

Hopefully I'll be able to track this down so I can get it running, pretty keen on helping out on some UI issues to improve the mobile experience.

Unfortunately I am not very familiar with docker, so I cannot help you there, sorry, although it does sound like if the docker has a linux subsystem that it should work?
I might give it a go with running it myself at some point.
