How to access swarmpit?

[sardaukar]

I installed swarmlet on a domain, but can't seem to get anything but 404s. Should swarmpit be accessible from swarmpit.domain.tld?

[sardaukar]

Also, swarmlet info tells me unknown command. Is that a known issue?

[woudsma]

Yeah, at this stage there are some things not implemented, such as swarmlet info.
Sorry 😅 I have to update the docs.

To access a web service you first need to configure the domain name. You need to clone the swarmpit repo from the swarm, change the URL in the .env file, and push again to redeploy and configure services included by Swarmlet (Matamo and Swarmpit atm).

[woudsma]

*Try to pull the Swarmpit repo from the swarm using git clone git@swarm:swarmpit, edit, commit and git push origin master.

Traefik usually takes some time to generate the SSL certs, a minute or two.

I think the hostname setting probably has an issue. I see

remote: =====> Stack deployed:
remote: [swarmpit] — https://swarmpit./home/git/swarmpit

the $HOSTNAME is set to the proper value, though.

[woudsma]

@sardaukar Exactly, and I'm not sure why $HOSTNAME is not displayed. Probably because the deployments service runs the build in a Docker container and doesn't have a hostname. In any case you should define the domain name in the .env file of any web service - at the moment.

This workflow should also be improved and explained in the docs. If you feel like helping out, please do! 👍

[sardaukar]

I'll have a look at this tomorrow! Thanks

[woudsma]

I'm curious if you've managed to host Swarmpit on your domain yet using Swarmlet.
Let me know when you do! 😃

Later today I'm going to update the docs on how to configure Swarmpit, Matomo and optionally Swarmprom/Portainer.

[sardaukar]

Yeah, I'm curious about that too. It'd be great to just work out of the box.

[woudsma]

100% agree.
Have you tried these steps?

# on your local machine

git clone git@swarm:swarmpit
cd swarmpit
nano .env  # edit DOMAIN=swarmlet.dev to your domain
git add . && git commit -m 'update'
git push origin master

If the service is not accessible online after a few minutes, you could try following the logs of both Swarmpit and Traefik if you can find any clues.

# on the server

docker service logs swarmpit_app -f
docker service logs loadbalancer_traefik -f

I've just updated the master branch with some fixes, setting a root domain during installation should fix this issue. You can try it using:

curl -fsSL https://get.swarmlet.dev | bash -s ROOT_DOMAIN=dev.mydomain.com

(assuming *.dev.mydomain.com is pointed to the server you're installing Swarmlet on).

This should make these domains accessible after installation:

https://swarmpit.dev.mydomain.com
https://matomo.dev.mydomain.com
https://traefik.dev.mydomain.com
https://consul.dev.mydomain.com

Please let me know if you get the chance to try it out!

[woudsma]

Closing this for now, please re-open if you are still running into this issue after a fresh installation.

Hey sorry have been busy lately, will check this out soon!
