Livebook server not starting [Windows] (not WSL2) #212
Comments
Hi @Octavio-GH! Would you be interested in making a PR to add this to the Troubleshooting section of the README? |
Sure, on it. Is Chocolately(Elixir/Erlang) / NVM(Node.js) a good toolset for Windows, or will it be deprecated to use WSL2 in this project? A standardized setup for Windows could be helpful. |
Thank you! Let me know if I can help at all! I've been thinking about this but haven't come to a solid conclusion yet. I need more feedback from other Windows users not using WSL2 (I use WSL2). Personally, I think that WSL2 is the most reliable Windows setup for Elixir. It's also less headache when setting up prerequisites like Postgres, Phoenix, etc. It's certainly the recommended setup for students. However, I'm worried about alienating Windows users or creating a large barrier to entry in front of new developers, so I'm hesitant to require it. If it's not too much effort to support folks on Windows w/Chocolately then I'd like to where possible. That said, I'd love to create a standard setup on Windows guide that walks through setting up the course and WSL2. In general, we could use some better setup guides for each OS. |
- Added a specific Windows (not WSL2) subsection under Troubleshooting. - Added solution for Livebook server not starting [Windows] (not WSL2) DockYard-Academy#212
Describe the issue
When
livebook server start.livemd
is called Livebook could not start distributed node.Note: This is a Livebook known issue (196, 194, 1042) that happens when some erlang files don't show a dialog for its firewall approval on the first Livebook execution after being installed.
As there is no windows version for asdf, my tools setup was done with Chocolately and NVM.
Solution proposal
Add a Windows-specific solution for this behavior on documentation:
iex --sname test
epmd.exe
erl.exe
andepmd.exe
should appear on firewall-allowed appsEnvironment
OS: Windows 11
Erlang/OTP: 24 [erts-12.0]
Elixir 1.13.3 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 22)
Reproduction Steps (If Applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
beta_curriculum
project folder executelivebook server start.livemd
Expected behavior
Curriculum Liveboook server should start and load the curriculum.
Actual behavior
Curriculum Liveboook is not started.
