Can someone inform what needs to be done ?

I’m not a tech guy or an code expert all I know is to instal Yunohost and then add domain and also install pixelfed what else do i need to do to rectify this error on admin panel and also installation ?

[lapineige]

For the record, that is a follow-up from that topic : https://forum.yunohost.org/t/pixelfed-installation-error-and-admin-page-cannot-be-accessed/18078/6

@deez17 : please try to install using this URL in the admin interface : https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pixelfed_ynh/tree/4.3
(if you want to do it with the command line : yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pixelfed_ynh/tree/4.3)

[ericgaspar]

This PR upgrades the package to last standards. It doesn't particularly adress this issue (but if it solves it it's good).

[lapineige]

As @deez17 described an issue since Yunohost 4.3, I wondered if this would "magically" solves it… that's why I asked if @deez17 could try it :)

[ghost]

What do you mean by this link?? All I know is to create a fresh Debian server and install Yunohost on it and select pixelfed under applications and install it how do I partially install pixelfed and install admin interface from another link ??

Sorry this is kinda confusing whatever the fix it is can you please fix it on the Yunohost Pixelfed’s app itself without having partially install from different links ?

or else I request you experts to please provide a step by step if possible of what needs to be done once again all I know is to only install Yunohost on a Debian server and select pixelfed i have no idea what else should be done

I tried this in a fresh yunohost install on a fresh Debian 10 server. Still no pixelfed admin console at all and still 419 errors when self signing up on some fresh installs of pixelfed.

[ericgaspar]

OK I don't use Pixelfed so I may missed something here.
I am able to install (the fatal git error is not so fatal. the app expects a .git file but we are not installing with git clone so we don't have one)

• I have registered a user
• I have confirmed my account via email
• I have access to the admin
• In the webadmin I am able to set PHP-config footprint in the config-panel section 😀

Can anyone say what went wrong really?? It was all working fine 3 months ago and all of a sudden I got this your connection is not secure shit messing around when I tried to renew the letsencrypt on Yunohost nothing happened so I had to delete my old Pixelfed which was running well without any issues and create a new one and now I’m facing a terrible issue with not having to instal Pixelfed at all

[lapineige]

can you please fix it on the Yunohost Pixelfed’s app itself

We can't fix a problem that we did/can not diagnose(d).
So first of all I'm trying to check if using this new version would solve your issue. That's why I suggested that you try it, just in case.

About how to do it : in the admin interface → apps → install → at the bottom you can register that URL and install this Pixelfed version.

Can anyone say what went wrong really??

So far, I can't. I don't have this issue and I am not able to try to install a Pixelfed instance right now.
That's why I will need some feedback from you :)

when I tried to renew the letsencrypt on Yunohost nothing happened so I had to delete my old Pixelfed which was running well without any issues and create a new one and now I’m facing a terrible issue with not having to instal Pixelfed at all

That would suggest there is another issue somewhere…
Can you provide full Pixelfed install log ? Here or in the forum (and in private message if you prefer), as you wish.

[lapineige]

@Tonyorcl I don't understand what is your issue 😅. Can you explain it again please ? And maybe provide any meaningful logs, if you have some.

[lapineige]

In the webadmin I am able to set PHP-config footprint in the config-panel section grinning

@ericgaspar : oh ! I didn't know that came with such a great feature !
We should document this, but this is a great addition :)

@deez17 In order to help you, we need proper logs. Screenshots are useless.
You can find the logs in the webadmin -> Tools -> Logs -> select the one corresponding to pixelfed install and press the green button.

I can't see anything wrong with the logs.

I am confused, is @deez17 and @Tonyorcl the same person?

[lapineige]

@deez17 can you specify what is your issue ?
Pixelfed does not install at all ?

If it does (the log says it does), what's wrong then ?

Simply htop

I tried that and horizon was started but still same error

Ok, then I would need some log (located in /var/log/pixelfed or /var/log/horizon I think) to understand what is failing.

Is this fixed I’m sorry I’m unable to get logs right now I would like to ask you something additional I’m trying to use laravel forge I have no idea how to use ssh keys as of yet I am only aware of using IP address, port and password to login to ssh

could you sir please inform me how to access ssh through keys I’m kinda confused it’s a big help to me

[lapineige]

Is this fixed I’m sorry I’m unable to get logs right now

Well I'm asking you for details that would help to fix the issue… If you can't provide them that's ok, but don't ask me to solve an issue that I can't even reproduce or identify :)

About how to use an SSH key: https://yunohost.org/en/security#ssh-authentication-via-key
For additional question, please ask this in Yunohost forum, because 1) you will have plenty more answers there and 2) this is kind of topic :)

Why don’t you instal pixelfed and rectify this issue ? Admin page is not accessible yet

[lapineige]

Horizon started successfully.

Great :)
Hum… did you make yourself an administrator user ? https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pixelfed_ynh#administrator

Why don’t you instal pixelfed and rectify this issue ? Admin page is not accessible yet

Because:

1. I can't reproduce the issue, as I told you.
2. Let's be clear on that thing : I am not working for you as an employee or similar. I am a volunteer using its free time to try to improve that package. Don't ask me to do something. I'm not your employee. if you are not satisfied by what I am doing, do it yourself.

Hi @lapineige,

I'm getting this issue as well.
the fatal: not a .git repository happens after artisan update. later on the pixelfed-horizon service timeous and I'm guessing this is the reason why it's stalling in the gui.

Pixelfed works fine (but without federation) after the installation and commands listed in the readme. When I try to access the admin panel of pixelfed (I am an admin user), Pixelfed says something went wrong (e.g. server error).

Here are my full logs for further debugging.

Hope we can get this fixed.

[lapineige]

I wonder if #157 would solve this 🤔
Can any of you test it ?

the fatal: not a .git repository happens after artisan update. later on the pixelfed-horizon service timeous and I'm guessing this is the reason why it's stalling in the gui.

That should only be a simple warning with no implications, as far as I understand…

Will try it tomorrow, thanks!

To clarify: the artisan update command fails with the fatal... output.

@lapineige i did a completely fresh install with a .noho.st domain on a Debian 10 Hetzner VPS and could replicate the issue. How do I install the app from the PR?

[bcye]

Nevermind, I installed it from the systemd branch with help from the developer info in the readme.
Admin page still doesn't load.

[bcye]

Here's the log from that install https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/padibevoqe

[lapineige]

I don't see anything special…
I suppose we should investigate Pixelfed / Horizon / PHP logs… For now I have no idea of the origin of that issue :(

There are (I think base64) encoded diagnostic details that the error site offers to copy.

[lapineige]

What do you mean ? Is it about the paste you shared ?

[bcye]

The image upload didn't work.
It says something went wrong, we can't process your request at this time. Then it offers you to go back to the timeline or copy diagnostic details intended for the sysadmin for debugging which is the base64 string below.

This what it looks like.

It returns the following b64:

[lapineige]

Thank you for investigating this. Maybe can you try php7.3 artisan config:cache ? (from pixelfed folder)
I wonder if we should ask for advice to Pixelfed dev team… I don't know if it's a Yunohost specific problem (but I think so), but at least I don't know where and what to search for…

[bcye]

That doesn't work sadly. If you're sure artisan update isn't causing the issue, we debugged supervisor if I understood #157 correctly, then it shouldn't be related to the yunohost install process specifically. Probably worth it to ask them, or figure out what the b64 is about, though I found nothing on that.

[lapineige]

It's a bit of a blind shot, but what you could try is to install an old version (I don't know, like a year old version or something like that ?), see if the issue is happening, and then try to upgrade to the latest version. Maybe we broke something during updates ?

What is strange is that I can't reproduce it on a fresh install.

[bcye]

@lapineige what system where you using for the fresh install, because i could replicate it.

I used debian 10 hetzner lowest tier, only roundcube and pixelfed uninstalled and reinstalled again. dyndns via noho.st

[bcye]

though the issues where happening before i uninstalled it as well

[lapineige]

I tried on a very standard x86 VPS, using debian 10 for the fresh install.
I migrated my own instance to an hetzner lowest tier too a while ago, no change.

I'll try on a raspberry pi, just in case.

[lapineige]

I can reproduce the issue. I have a base64 error log too, but I don't know how to decode it further that what you have done.

[bcye]

Ok I found it, the website should be pixelfed-debug.com but it returns an SSL error. Luckily it is open source, the repo is https://github.com/pixelfedLabs/pixelfed-debug and the decoder is an html file. I'm on mobile right now and will try it later.

[lapineige]

And that's easy to install in a Custom Webapp package 🎉
I signalled to the author the issue with the official website.

Thanks for all your efforts investigating this !

[lapineige]

Apparently there is a fix (or rather a workaround): #160 (comment)

[bcye]

Awesome!
