Installation problem v1.0b with quickstart.sh

[LinuksGuru]

Hi,

I have just installed BackROLL v1.0beta with source <(curl -L https://github.com/DIMSI-IS/BackROLL/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.1/quickstart.sh) which auto-starts and runs quickstart.sh. Installation went smooth, yet I can't get BackROLL web GUI to functional state. First of all, I can't login into default BackROLL-Flower page, ip:8080, there is nothing on 8080 port, lsof -i :8080 confirms that. However, I can login into keycloak ip:8081, there is backroll-realm, but no Flower user assotioted with that realm, only keycloak admin not within backroll-realm. Quite strange, I can login into ip:80, which opens page which seem to be BackROLL admin: http://192.168.0.11:8081/realms/backroll/protocol/openid-connect/auth?client_id=backroll-front&redirect_uri=xxx Unfortunately, I can't login with Flower admin user / password, logs says error=user_not_found. Flower admin/password is being recorder in /compose_project/core/@prod.env, so there is no way I mixed up login/pw from different parts of the software.

I did installation twice and second time intentinally made all user/passwords as simple as possible, restrted all docker containers, no changes. Suspect something is wrong/missing with backroll-realm in keycloak, but not sure. Portainer screenshot attached.

How to fix that? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @LinuksGuru,

[!NOTE] We’re working on a new version of Backroll with no configuration required. Stay tuned !

Since you’re not required to connect to Flower to use Backroll, forget about Flower and let’s focus on Backroll first. While running the installation :

• at the step #### BackROLL host IP configuration ####, choose the IP address on your local network or enter it by choosing Other
• ignore #### Flower configuration (preview) ####, just hit enter
• you will enter your Backroll credentials here #### Keycloak first user configuration ####
• you will enter the Keycloak admin credentials here #### New Keycloak configuration ####

To test the installation :

• connect to the Backroll web GUI on ip:80 with the IP specified at the #### BackROLL host IP configuration #### step
• use the credentials specified at the #### Keycloak first user configuration #### step

If it doesn’t work :

• connect to the Keycloak web GUI on ip:8081 with the IP specified at the #### BackROLL host IP configuration #### step
• use the credentials specified at the #### New Keycloak configuration #### step
• select the backroll realm
• show me the Clients and Users lists

You can check the Keycloak initial configuration at compose_project/sso/@prod.realm.json.

Tell me if it helps,

Matthias

Hi, Matthias,

Thanks for great news! When you expect to release a new version? I'm plan to use Backroll with Open Nebula, but installation of last is not finished yet, so I can wait meanwhile.

Hi @LinuksGuru,

We still need to do some testing before releasing the new version. However, you can already intall the current dev version to start testing Backroll and give us some feedback. Mind that it has not been fully tested yet !

Follow these steps :

• set up an Ubuntu virtual machine
• on the Ubuntu virtual machine :
  • clone the main branch of the repository
  • cd snap_project
  • sudo bash install.sh
• from your computer, open a web browser and enter the URL of your VM http://your-vm-ip
• don’t forget to change the default password
