Kobo On Your Own Server

Hi all,

I’m trying to install the kobotoolbox on:
Linux devel 4.15.0-76-generic #86~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 20 11:02:50 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I’m using the simplified kobo-install script from https://github.com/kobotoolbox/kobo-install.

After using default settings for all the configuration (except the smtp server part) I get:

Cloning into '/home/develadmin/Programs/kobo-docker'...

Does anybody have an idea on what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch!

Hello @chrisfoes,

I’ve just tested with default options and I didn’t get your error.
KoBoInstall has been successfully tested on Ubuntu and Debian. I can tell for other distros.

I used:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (fresh install on AWS)
  • Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea838
  • Docker compose version 1.25.3, build d4d1b42b
  • KoBoInstall Version: a61b14c

Are you sure /bin/bash is available and in your $PATH

I have updated docker and docker-compose and tried again, with defaults.

docker-compose version

docker-compose version 1.8.0, build unknown
docker-py version: 1.9.0
CPython version: 2.7.12
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016

And yes /bin/bash is in my $PATH variable.

Same result.

I also get the error, if I try the workstation installation.

Can you tell me which (exact) version & name of distro you use?

Of my operating system?

Can you try to update your version of docker-compose to latest one?
It seems to complain about the version of the yml file.

The message init-letsencrypt.sh: line 27: -s: command not found makes me think that curl is missing.
Moreover, in latest version of nginx-certbot, curl command is run at line 31. Would you try to update nginx-certbot at the latest commit.

Thanks, for the advice I will try as soon as I get back to work. I’m on sick leave for a few more weeks…
