Tips on installing XO

Danp

@jasonnix That seems correct, but it doesn't match up with the earlier results you posted, ie -

success Already up-to-date.

How could this be if you just extracted the source code? You may want to try once more to confirm that you were in the correct directory in the prior attempt.

What OS are you using?

jasonnix

Hi @Danp,
I'm using Debian. As I said, I tried Git, but it failed and I downloaded the source code manually and extracted it. The full output is:

$ sudo yarn
yarn install v1.22.21

@jasonnix said in Tips on installing XO:

$ husky install

Not sure why you are running this command. Normally you would execute yarn build at this point.

jasonnix

@Danp
Please take a look at this.

Please take a look at this.

On your Debian install, why not just connect to the system over SSH and run

sudo bash
and

bash -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh)"

@jasonnix said in Tips on installing XO:

I've seen it, and just checked again. I see no mention of husky at all. Only yarn and yarn build.

Am I missing something?

jasonnix

@Danp
When I ran yarn, then I saw that error about husky. BTW, I ignored that and did:

$ sudo yarn build
yarn run v1.22.21

Hello @Danp,
I installed the XO, but when I use sudo service orchestra start command, then I can't see the web interface and I must use yarn start. Why?
The service is running:

$ sudo service orchestra status
● orchestra.service - LSB: forever-service startup script for orchestra
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/orchestra; generated)
     Active: active (exited) since Sat 2024-03-09 05:02:50 EST; 5s ago

Mar 09 05:02:50 XO systemd[1]: Started orchestra.service - LSB: forever-service startup script for orchestra.

No systemd?

Danp

It could be a rights issue. What user name did you use when you performed the forever-service install?

jasonnix

@Danp, I did the following command:

jason@XO:$ sudo forever-service install orchestra -r jason -s dist/cli.mjs

Danp

IDK. The fact that it shows "active (exited)" is problematic because I would have expected to see "active (running)".

Have you checked the logs for further information?

jasonnix

@Danp,

Danp

Again... seems like a rights issue. What changes did you make to the config.toml file? Also, did you see this statement in the documentation?

In this config file, you can change default ports (80 and 443) for xo-server. If you are running the server as a non-root user, you will need to set the port to 1024 or higher.

jasonnix

@Danp, I just did the following:

$ cd packages/xo-server
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/xo-server
$ cp sample.config.toml ~/.config/xo-server/config.toml

Danp

@jasonnix said in Tips on installing XO:

cat: /home/xo/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json: No such file or directory

It is trying to create the file, but can't due to the rights issue. You may want to start over and try installing as root to avoid these problems.

jasonnix

Hi @Danp,
I used sudo. The file is located at /root/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json.

Danp

@jasonnix There are settings that need to be configured to run correctly under sudo. Did you make that?

jasonnix

@Danp, Not really. Which settings?

Danp

@jasonnix It is in the documentation at the very bottom.
