Feedback on installation - Built from Mint 19.3 on real hardware to DigitalOcean droplet #1821
Open
Description
Well... that was difficult.
I created a new gateway from scratch using default parameters in what I would say was a plain vanilla process which should have been predictably smooth. What happened is that I had to overcome several hurdles that were surprising since this was such a common place path to installation.
- gpg keyring not refreshing
effect: causes the installation to fail
solution: overcome following a hint to comment out the refresh task (False...) thanks to the contributor. - openvpn stale key
effect: causes installation of openvpn to fail and aborts the process
solution: overcome by editing the openvpn signing key to manually refresh. Again thanks to contributor. - Failing attempt to add the wireguard repository
effect: causes the installation to fail
solution: comment out the ppa addition since this si no longer needed. Again thanks to contributor. - Screwed up file permissions for the generated docs
efffect: generated docs go nowhere because the permission to write is not set or something like that
solution: make the streisand directory writable at large (I know... it is bad) but it worked and you can reset perms after.
Finally... success. This took a looooong time.
The reason I am sharing this is to help someone else who may be going down that path to let them see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and this is not the train coming.
Also, I really like the project and I have setup at least 3-4 gateways previously, so I would like to be able to recommend it without breaking into a sweat when it does not work.
Finally, thank you for the work. This is really a big project in terms of complexity and I hope this will help somewhat.
