MastodonScheduler.Local:5000 never resolves

[MaryMuse]

Hello,
I've read the instructions which state that the scheduler runs as a service on my local machine. However, after installing it on a few different fresh installs of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I never can access mastodon.scheduler.Local:5000 page as I get the general "this page cannot be displayed" message.

My server is connected to the internet and can get out to communicate; however, due to the rural "hi fi" internet I'm on, I don't have a public IP that I can access from outside my home network. Even though it's a local service, does this require accessibility from outside the network to run?

Thanks,

Is it possible to try using Debian instead of Ubuntu?

You can run it locally and use it without opening a port or anything like that. We also have a hosted version at beta.mastodon-scheduler.app in case you'd like an invite.

Thanks. Since I'm not doing anything else with the server, let me install Debian and try that. Otherwise, an invite would be amazing. Thank you again.

LMK an email where I can send it!

Thanks for your patience. I did a fresh install of Debian 12. Installed the software as root. As far as I could tell install went just fine with no error messages. But at https://mastodon-scheduler.local:5000 it says "unable to connect" The site could be temporarily unavailable or busy.

Is there an error log or a way to see if the service is running?

My email for the beta invite is marycaelsto@gmail.com

Thanks.
