May the CI gods be with you!

Oh this would be fantastic to add. I have an instance with around 1k users and without the daemon it would not work. With the daemon it works very well. I even opened an issue for that here #78

If you can pull this off it would be fantastic!

Alrighty!

[tio-trom]

Latest test seemed to work? I would like to give this one a try, but do you think it is ready?

thanks for that awesome work!
When I updated friendica, I can access everything on my phone via Tusky for example or Fedilab, however on the laptop it looks like when I try to access the feed:

and the error message is the following:

Exception thrown in /var/www/friendica/src/Core/Renderer.php:90

I can access the admin panel though and my personal profile.
Did that happen to anyone else?

I think is worth mentioning the beginning of that error unable to create directory /var/www/friendica/view/smarty3/compiled/52/4e/07

Also for my friendica I get this endless smarty3 folder repeated on a loop.

How about for you @aarontrom ?

Plus I need to mention that I got the same errors with the ynh2 package, before the daemon implementation. Some of my profile's newsfeeds ere empty, some were normal. I do not know what's the issue.

[aarontrom]

Ohh true indeed:

[tio-trom]

I would like to understand if the Daemon was successfully implemented since it was merged? I would like to test but to know what I need to check for. Thanks!

I updated to the main branch and I see these errors in the friendica-daemon:

PHP Warning:  file_put_contents(/run/friendica/daemon.pid): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/friendica/bin/daemon.php on line 166
Pid file wasn't written.

The 166 line is if (!file_put_contents($pidfile, $pid)) {

Context:

// Fork a daemon process
	$pid = pcntl_fork();
	if ($pid == -1) {
		echo "Daemon couldn't be forked.\n";
		Logger::warning('Could not fork daemon');
		exit(1);
	} elseif ($pid) {
		// The parent process continues here
		if (!file_put_contents($pidfile, $pid)) {
			echo "Pid file wasn't written.\n";
			Logger::warning('Could not store pid file');
			posix_kill($pid, SIGTERM);
			exit(1);
		}
		echo 'Child process started with pid ' . $pid . ".\n";
		Logger::notice('Child process started', ['pid' => $pid]);
		exit(0);
	}

And the friendica-daemon-service restarts every minute or so. Friendica works for me tho....but you have to be aware of those errors.

We can continue the discussion here maybe #133
