is http connect working?

[alp-by]

Hi.
I am trying to run it on my synology with the following config:

version: "3"
services:
rmfakecloud:
image: ddvk/rmfakecloud
container_name: rmfakecloud

restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  - ./data:/docker/rmfakecloud
environment:
#  - PORT:9883
#  - STORAGE_URL=http://192.168.88.199:3000
  - JWT_SECRET_KEY=xxxxx
  - LOGLEVEL=debug
  - RM_SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com:587
  - RM_SMTP_USERNAME=hxxxx@gmail.com
  - RM_SMTP_PASSWORD=xxxx
ports:
  - "3000:3000"      
  - "9883:9883"

I have access to my cloud via http://192.168.88.199:3000

• I set the same address in RM2 via setup.

I am able to pair with my local cloud but:

1. email is not sending out ... getting "sending..." message and that's all
2. there is no sync and my data folder is empty.
3. after RM2 rebooting - paring is "cancelled" Need to pair again.

May be are there any ideas what is wrong with my workaround? Thanks.

This is only half of your setup, what are you doing on the device?

[alp-by]

well...I did everything with unstallation and installation but the issue is in missing file (my previous message)

If we check the service than we see:

Process: 314 ExecStart=/home/root/rmfakecloud/rmfake-proxy -cert /home/root/rmfakecloud/proxy.bundle.crt -key /home/root/rmfakecloud/proxy.key http://192.168.88.199:3000 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
   Main PID: 314 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

but if we check my dir: /home/root/rmfakecloud/ there is no rmfake-proxy there. There is a new rmfakecloud-proxy
So, I created the symlink
ln -s /home/root/rmfakecloud/rmfakecloud-proxy /home/root/rmfakecloud/rmfake-proxy
and reloaded my RM and it works now.
Now the serive loads rmfakecloud-proxy that exists there.

At the moment I have good status for proxy:

root@reMarkable:~#  systemctl status proxy
● proxy.service - reverse proxy
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/proxy.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

The latest installer uses rmfakecloud-proxy as the name, not rmfake-proxy. This still smells like you might not have the latest install script.

• How did you confirm that you are using the latest install script?
• Have you confirmed that /etc/hosts has more entries than when you ran it before?

[alp-by]

let me make it from the very beginning starting with uninstalling

  I used the corresponding link to download + I checked the size of the file.

I used the corresponding link to download + I checked the size of the file.

I would recommend a file hash instead of size of file. sha256sum or md5sum.

[alp-by]

In my case I check the service: /etc/systemd/system/proxy.service

it contains the following:

[Unit]
Description=reverse proxy
#StartLimitIntervalSec=600
#StartLimitBurst=4
After=home.mount

[Service]
Environment=HOME=/home/root
#EnvironmentFile=/home/root/rmfakecloud/proxy.cfg
WorkingDirectory=/home/root/rmfakecloud
ExecStart=/home/root/rmfakecloud/rmfake-proxy -cert /home/root/rmfakecloud/proxy.bundle.crt -key /home/root/rmfakecloud/proxy.key http://192.168.88.199:3000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

so there is /home/root/rmfakecloud/rmfake-proxy

[Eeems]

I would not know, but it's not in the documentation in the readme.

[alp-by]

well...if you follow the official documentation here-> https://ddvk.github.io/rmfakecloud/remarkable/setup/
there is the following section:

Windows/Mac Desktop Client:

- modify the hosts file (\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) add the same entries as on the tablet
- run a reverse proxy on the host or somewhere else pointing it to rmfakecloud with the same certs
- profit

[Eeems]

It says run A reverse proxy, not run rmfakecloud-proxy.

[alp-by]

well.... you are right ... but I still don't understand why there is .exe file in the download options :)

[alp-by]

at least I finally I managed to set up email sending!!! :)
