Help installing or if possible is there any automated script for installing like the one GasparI made for ubuntu 16?

try

docker-compose run app rake db:schema:load

@Rob Guthrie I'm really thankful for all your time spend in this software, and time giving support to the community.

Unfortunately the Docker deployment version still doesn't work for me. I will take a Docker and databases course this following week.

I will take a look at the development deployment as it to me seems more promising than relying on Docker I have used docker before but this is the first time it doesn't work at first try (somehow is not as easy as I thought LOL)

so clearly I'm missing something in my install

but for now I think I will leave it since even trying with my own purchased domain and everything still nothing

I don´t want to take more of your time, you guys have been generous enough with your time.
with all my heart thanks

maybe after I re-take my old linux-bash courses i may write an script as Gaspar Did for the old ubuntu 14

if, so I would happily share it, you guys already work hard

I hope to one day give back something useful to the community

have a wonderful day

and big thanks appreciate your help

Hi,

I believe that Loomio needs the simplest "next-next-finish" installer possible to become really successful worldwide.

I have managed to follow through install instructions (impossible without advanced Linux knowledge) but I also failed to install it next to Apache, which is a circumstance on the target server I must accommodate.

Please see this new post: https://www.loomio.org/d/wxE3sCDj/loomio-docker-install-next-to-apache

@joesab How important this is for you? If you could contribute, let's say 50 €, then we would need less than 10 people to finance this effort.

We could also launch a crowdfunding campaign to do so.
@Rob Guthrie - I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

I don't quite understand how to achieve a next-next-finish workflow, and support you to run it in a custom configuration (ie: with Apache).

I don't understand how I can help. If you follow the instructions I've provided, it'll work, but it's up to you to configure it differently to that.

Let's say Apache is installed and used, it's a common scenario.

If you follow the instructions, they won't work in their current form. As I mentioned not even I was able to find out yet how to avoid conflicts with 80/443 standard ports.

The concept is the same I did with 14.04 and 16.04 - make the installation as easy as running a single command in such case.

@Rob Guthrie Btw, I wouldn't bother you with server config issues for special cases. You already do so much with development for which I am grateful.

Would you, and the team, feel okay if such special efforts are funded via community/crowdfunding?

Thanks for your support and enthusiasm, @GasparI.

To me, having an existing server doing existing stuff is a special use case, and you're going to need to have a level of linux expertise to manage that responsibility. I've supported maybe 50 people to install Loomio and the vast majority of them were installing onto a new VPS with their own domain name and email server.

Working out how to load balance traffic to multiple apps, or diagnose a problem, is something the sysadmin will always have to take responsibility for, no matter what apps they want to run. Any one click installs you find for other apps will not support installing onto an existing server with http ports in use.

To be clear, I don't think this is appropriate for crowdfunding because I don't think the problem is clear. Either seek support with configuring your server with multiple virtual hosts (a reasonable thing to do), or ask for help developing a one (ish) click install, but they are separate things.

Finally, we don't have any more time, and cannot prioritize the work should you run a crowdfunding campaign. It would be great if you could find people with the skills to do what you want and fund them, so that we have more Loomio experts in the world.

However I acknowledge there may be demand for better support to self host Loomio, and maybe there is an opportunity for that to generate revenue for Loomio. We could offer one click loomio installs with selected VPS providers (starting with digitalocean, maybe) and provide DNS, Email and other configuration out of the box, along with a choice of your-choice.loomio.net domain names.

@T thanks I would love to give it a try, but the link you provided isn't working, could you send the direct link pls?

yeap no worries I think i can manage the port/Virtualhost. your help is highly appreciated

@GasparI I totally agreed with you buddy, In order for Loomio to be successful worldwide it needs "next-next-finish" installer (Monkey/dummy proof installer). I'm sure it super hard to do for the developers

sadly right now due to COVID-19 I don't have as many resources as I had

(company where I work is working at 20% so not as much income as it use to)

But as soon as I can if you are still Crowdfunding I'm totally in.
