Setting up nodeBB on dokku
-
Hey people, I am extremely new to node.js, NodeBB & dokku but I've been trying to set up a nodeBB forum on my dokku image on digital ocean and although I have set up redis to work with the app when I run --setup it fails to connect to it, anyone else using a setup like this and any pointers for getting it working. The error I get is this;
error: Redis connection to [IP ADDRESS] failed - connect ECONNREFUSED
I have redis setup and dokku has linked the container to my forum container, I pass the correct IP & port during setup but the connection fails, I'm at a bit of a loss.
-
Is the redis-server running? And what distribution are you using?
-
It's the dokku application image on digital ocean, it's running on ubuntu 13.04. How would I check that redis is running in this setup, finding it quite confusing atm.
-
I've not used Dokku, but I'm guessing that it will be the same as checking the status of any server on Ubuntu. Try this command:
sudo service redis-server status. -
No, that just returns unrecognized service.
-
Ubuntu may not recognize it as a service, but maybe if you are inside the Dokku container, it will. Just a thought.
-
Just tried running;
dokku run forum service redis-server status
and it returned the same.
-
The obvious question then is, is Redis installed? I know you said you said that "set up redis to work with the app," but it doesn't seem to be showing that.
-
It does seem that dokku hasn't installed redis, trying to get it set up now. Through the guides I've been following and watching dokku auto-install and configure everything else I thought having the dokku redis plugin would install redis for my container, seems that isn't the case.
-
@sp4rkr4t Do you have the ability to execute
redis-clifrom your Dokku image? If you can ssh into the server and attempt to useredis-cliwith the redis credentials, you can see if there's a problem establishing the connection from there. -
I tried to put on nodebb Doku here on this a manual (nodebb wiki link).
8 point is passed
Instead 9th - you have to install the dokker-redis-pluginEventually I got a working application on Dokku, but do not know how to make the configuration process, but I can not process console to answer the questions of the installer.
-
I rebuilt the dokku image and this time install redis-server via apt myself, then installed the dokku-redis plugin and set it up for my forum container as the plugin says, then I pushed the nodebb code and that all set up but still I cannot connect to redis during setup. This is a real shame that I cannot figure this out as I don't really want to move forward with putting the rest of my stuff in containers until I have this figured out/fixed.
-
Hm.. for Heroku setup, I ended up running
node app --setupfrom my local machine, and then pushing the code including the generatedconfig.jsonfile, to the Heroku server. Perhaps something like that is required? -
No with dokku you can push the node app --setup command to the container fine, just can't get the setup to talk to the redis server.
-
Is there an error log that you can pull info from so you have a better idea why you can't connect to Redis?
-
Also, where is dokku in relation to your redis server? I'm assuming a containered instance won't understand 127.0.0.1 to be your local PC.
-
@julian It's in a container created by the plugin which also is meant to tie it to the forum container. I think you are right that it can't interpret the address correctly as I just tried a clean install but this time with mongodb and that plugin and had the exact same issue.
