Enable install without internet access (for community members on air-gapped networks)

Hi, I just gave a try to mattermost follow steps in README.

However, http://dockerhost:8065 only give me below page, nowhere to sign up, seems something gone wrong?

I setup mattermost in my workstation and access it from home (Mackbook with google chrome 43.0.xxx) via VPN.

I have the similar problem, like blow error:

some assets can't access from china, or inner network.

@chengweiv5, thanks for the report. 90% sure this is our fault for not including a link to the list of supported browsers in README.md: http://www.mattermost.org/mattermost-0-5-0-released/

Can you let me know if the issue still shows up if you're able to switch to a browser below?

Supported Operating Systems and Browsers:

PC: Windows 7, Windows 8 (Chrome 43, Firefox 38, Internet Explorer 11)
Mac: OS 10 (Safari 7, Chrome 43)
Linux: Arch 4.0.0 (Chrome 43)
iPhone 4s and higher (Safari on iOS 8.3, Chrome 43)
Android 5 and higher (Chrome 43)

This is potentially a CSS rendering issue we need to fix, particularly if you're on Linux as our testing there is very limited.

[it33]

@chengweiv5, thanks for the update, could we ask you to right-click on the text and select "Inspect Element" and paste here the HTML you see?

@KirinHuang, I've opened a new issue on your comment, I believe it's a different topic, please reply back if you think differently?

[chengweiv5]

I'm using Mac OS X 10.10.3 (14D136) and google chrome Version 43.0.2357.81 (64-bit), I did try several times, issue confirmed.

See picture below.

Are theare errors with loaded scripts in Network tab (inside Google Developer Console) ?

[chengweiv5]

@KirinHuang I can download https://fb.me/react-with-addons-0.13.1.js from my docker host, see below:

@chengweiv5 i access this resource from china, that's the reason.

[it33]

hi @chengweiv5 sorry for the late reply, this is probably because you can't reach the jquery library from your browser--we should have included it in the download and we didn't. There's a feature request to do this and I think we probably will soon: http://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/8637517-enable-installer-to-complete-without-referencing-e

In the meantime, here's how to work around:

1] Somehow get a compressed 1.11.3 version of jquery from a different download source (if you can't access https://jquery.com/download/ ) 
2] Copy the downloaded jquery-1.11.3.min.js into web/static/js 
3] In web/templates/head.html replace line 12 which looks like this 
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 
with this 
<script src="/static/js/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> 
4] Reload dockerhost:8065. 

Does this help?

[jwilander]

Hi @KirinHuang please see @it33's comment for your issue as well and if you can't access react-with-addons either you can hopefully use the following similar steps to work-around that. If you have trouble finding copies of jquery-1.11.3.min.js and react-with-addons-0.13.1.js, we might be able to get you some copies.

1] Somehow get the 0.13.1 version of react-with-addons from a different download source (if you can't access https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/03/16/react-v0.13.1.html ) 
2] Copy the downloaded react-with-addons-0.13.1.js into web/static/js 
3] In web/templates/head.html replace line 11 which looks like this 
<script src="https://fb.me/react-with-addons-0.13.1.js"></script> 
with this 
<script src="/static/js/react-with-addons-0.13.1.js"></script> 
4] Reload dockerhost:8065.

@chengweiv5 would you be able to paste the contents of your javascript web console here (when you try and load the signup page)? It looks like you're missing the jquery library as well but it's hard to confirm without being able to see your console. Also does your VPN force all internet traffic through the tunnel or does it allow non-VPN related traffic to access the internet directly?

[chengweiv5]

@it33 , just verified that I can signup from company, seems it's a real network issue which may download some resources that can not accessed from home, china only issue. :-(

I'll paste console log when I at home.

[it33]

Hi @chengweiv5, really sorry we didn't better anticipate developers in China.

There was a feature request submitted to fix this: http://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/8677084-add-ability-to-use-ip-address-team-instead-of-te

It might take a week to get the pull request in, and the next major build release, 0.6.0 is end of month. So the options are a) download things locally from China through some VPN, b) wait until end of next week for us to ship the bits (your call on whether to pick them off individually or take a cut of the bits under development, or c) wait until the next major build version where we'll have gone through a full manual test pass.

This is now fixed with #130
