did you find a solution? i can seem to figure it out

nothing works for me yet

Similar issue here. Identical DB logs with slightly different error thrown by Reddit when trying to authenticate.

Edit: Potentially same as #2 and #7.

As I'm writing this I would like to express a sincere apology for being of topic and pinging you after ~6months of inactivity on this. @wanburana @pinkneonsign @jc9108. But I would really like to set this up but I'm having an incredibly hard time figuring it out. I don't any real history with stuff like this but having all my saved post from reddit available to me is too tempting. I'm just wondering if you could explain it to me here or maybe through a dm on discord or something. Getting stuck with the docker specifically, can't seem to make it work. Any help or response would be highly appreciated.

I have the same issue. Docker is working normally and the expanse container is running.

[abosaad11]

I had the same error, tried it with a different reddit acount ad it worked. I thought it was because the first account was perma banned.

The first account had both capital and small letters, the second username was all small letters, so I copied the first account name exactly as it was, then it worked.

TLDR: I think the username is case sensitive.

[Anon-Anon443]

Hey man thank you for replying! Its been some time since I stopped trying with it but I think my problem was that I just couldn't get the reddit app thing to work and when I was creating the container it was giving me some gibberish string of letters and numbers. If you could spare me some time I would to get in touch to help me clear some things out! Discord: Mkolev#8866

i guess theres likely something wrong with your allow/deny lists

someone dm'd me on reddit and said they did

ALLOWED_USERS=""
DENIED_USERS="*"

and that they were getting this 401. yes, because this states that there are no allowed users

and as @abosaad11 said, usernames in these lists are case-sensitive. please read the instructions carefully https://github.com/aplotor/expanse/blob/da454c58854531b1a20a088c8414541bfa76f7eb/backend/.env_example#L13

[aplotor]

@Anon-Anon443 your problem seems unrelated to this issue, and seems like a docker setup issue likely unrelated to expanse. you can try asking chatgpt or r/docker etc

[Anon-Anon443]

Thank you all for the responses, after trying to set it up again I succeeded, I think the last time I was trying to do something absolutely unnecessary. Just two more questions to ease my heart, just to know. Reddit keeps the last 1000 saved post/comments but it shows me only 852 items. Does it pull only the currently saved ones from reddit archives them and then adds the new ones I save. Can I get back my older saves somehow or are they lost forever? And do I have to keep the docker activated all the time, or maybe activate it periodically so it can update? The latter I presume. Thank you again. <3

[aplotor]

it shows me only 852 items

see https://github.com/aplotor/expanse/issues/46#issuecomment-2154007340

do I have to keep the docker activated all the time

this is a web app that runs in a docker container, so whenever you want to use it or want it to pull new data, docker needs to be running. generally people keep webapps up 24/7 but its up to you

[zolinone]

I'm getting a 401 as well, no matter what I do. I've combed through my .env_prod file to make sure I have it right. Copied and pasted my Reddit username to ensure case-sensitivity. For allow/deny-lists, I've tried the following:

ALLOWED_USERS="<name1>"
DENIED_USERS="*"

ALLOWED_USERS="<name1>, <name2>, <name3>"
DENIED_USERS="<name4>"

ALLOWED_USERS="*"
DENIED_USERS="<name4>, <name5>, <name6>"

And many variations thereof. None work. I thought for sure the last one would do it, since it's allowing all. Any ideas?

Hey guys, as I said before I managed to set up the docker and got the thing up and running. But today I tried to start it up and it seems that something has changed(for the record I havent touched absolutely anything related to it). I running the run.sh but it gave me this error:

sh ./run.sh prod up app Pulling app Error Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/jc9108/expanse/manifests/latest": denied Error response from daemon: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/jc9108/expanse/manifests/latest": denied ./run.sh: line 28: source: filename argument required source: usage: source filename [arguments]

After running it through GPT it said I needed to login from the docker with a github access token so I did with this line:

echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

But now it continues to give me another error which is:

sh ./run.sh prod up app Pulling app Error manifest unknown Error response from daemon: manifest unknown

Which I guess means that it wont be supported anymore??? Like the app/image or whatever its trying to pull is taken down or cant be found is what I'm understanding from this message. Also to note I have ran sh ./run.sh prod update; whichall it did was somehow remove the expanse app container from the docker

Your help is greatly appreciated! <3
