Systemd Failure On Detailed Install

Open jimthedj65 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Followed the steps: https://simplex.chat/docs/server.html Started a new install of xmq and came across an issue at step 5. Optional — If you're using distribution with systemd, create /etc/systemd/system/smp-server.service file with the following content:

When running the systemd service it shows an error

dmesg: Output: shows nothing

I tried moving forward to the caddy section where I encountered a second issue step 6 of the Caddy install Make the script executable and execute it: Error: :/usr/local/bin# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/simplex-servers-certs && /usr/local/bin/simplex-servers-certs cp: cannot stat '/var/lib/caddy/.local/share/caddy/certificates/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory/smp.MYDOMAIN.link/smp.MYDOMAIN.link.crt': No such file or directory

If anyone could give me some direction on where I am going wrong with the detailed install steps, I would be grateful.

Same issue, on docker. Caddy hangs and the dependency fails Something to do with self certs. Can you not host it on a private ip? I thought they were leveraging the onion network
