Contributing guidelines
- [X] Yes, I did.
After working on this for a bit I think there are several documentation errors in the section:
https://docs.netmaker.org/server-installation.html#linux-install-without-docker
This command also fails to find a file:
sudo wget -O /usr/share/nginx/html/netmaker-ui.zip https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker-ui/releases/download/latest/netmaker-ui.zip
Has anyone verified the commands listed?
thanks brian
I am guessing that the last time there were verified was probably around version 0.9.x or 0.10.x.
Everyone seems to be using docker so keeping that section of the documents up to date does not merit high priority.

Maybe there's a little bit of a chicken vs egg situation going on here? The project members and interested parties favor Docker so the Docker documentation is maintained and Docker installs work better. Non-Docker documentation is way out of date and under-maintained, so anyone attempting an install directly onto the OS immediately experiences pain and frustration, so tries again with the Docker install which works ...

Non-docker instructions were updated a few weeks ago, so I'm closing this for now. Check them out here: https://docs.netmaker.org/server-installation.html#linux-install-without-docker
Oh well thanks anyway. The errors I saw just seemed related to NOT having the right "paths" to files in the 2 command examples ?
That to me shouldn't seem to take a lot of maintainer time to correct...
Especially if you know your GitHub repository's layout !
Docker isn't a good option for everybody.
