Issues starting alf.io

[FelixBuehler]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to start an instance of alf.io. I either fail via docker or gradlew. Steps and results below:

gradlew:

1. git clone the M1 branch
2. set up a pgsql instance with the demanded db, user and pw
3. ./gradlew clean
4. ./gradlew -Pprofile=dev :bootRun

It runs up to 80% and then gets stuck. It is accessible via browser, but when I cancel the SSH connection or abort it, then it's shutting down. This is my logfile:

    _    _  __  _
   / \  | |/ _|(_) ___
  / _ \ | | |_ | |/ _ \
 / ___ \| |  _|| | (_) |
/_/   \_\_|_|(_)_|\___/

Docker:

I removed the dev variable and ran docker-compose up -d. It starts up completely but is not accessible via browser on 8080. When I wget localhost:8080 it redirects me to 8443. It probably has to do with the port mapping, but I'm not quite sure, on which I should map it.

Hi @FelixBuehler,

thank you for using alf.io!

If you want to deploy alf.io in production, please either check our documentation, or have a look at #834

back to your points:

gradle
1. git clone the M1 branch

please have a look at our releases for pre-built binaries.
Please also note that M1 is not an active branch anymore, as stated in our README

It runs up to 80% and then gets stuck. It is accessible via browser, but when I cancel the SSH connection or abort it, then it's shutting down.

this is totally expected, as gradle is a build tool, and is not meant to help you run alf.io as application

Docker:

I removed the dev variable and ran docker-compose up -d. It starts up completely but is not accessible via browser on 8080. When I wget localhost:8080 it redirects me to 8443. It probably has to do with the port mapping, but I'm not quite sure, on which I should map it.

Alf.io requires an SSL channel open for serving production requests. Please see #363 for more info

I am closing this since it's not an issue. If you have other questions, please head to our mailing list

Thanks!
