Installation, bower and missing dependencies

[tntodorov]

Hello,

This practically reopens closed issues #8 and #9.

In the case of #8, yes - you caught it first ;-) But then fixed it at the wrong place. C9 does not have a bower.json file, and that is where you added the lines. More problematic is that the script attempts to install bower globally, which might not happen, if node.js is installed globally for all users, i.e. somewhere outside of your $HOME. bower complains if you run the script with sudo, unless you also add --allow-root. This is all I have on issue #8.

Issue #9. Bower starts the installation, but fails to find flat-ui-official. Here is the output:

Sorry, I was distracted and posted the new issue before completing my description...

Anyway, because of flat-ui-official bower stops the install. If I remove flat-ui from the json file, the rest of the dependencies are installed and I get a lot less 404s in the log. At least I can create or delete a workspace, even when there is no styling to the the html.

And a last issue which concerns the installation, but is not related to the old ones #8 and #9: Is there a way to run this behind forward proxy like nginx? I tried to set this up with the following setup in ngxinx:

    upstream c9_upstream {
        server 127.0.0.1:3105;
        server 127.0.0.1:5000;
    }

    server {
        listen 443;
        ssl on;
       # other ssl configuration
        location / {
            # usual proxy configuration for node.js, google is your friend
            proxy_pass http://c9_upstream;
        }
    }

For that to work, I also had to change server.js where passport.js is setup for GitHubStrategy:

    //callbackURL: app.get('baseUrl') + ':' + app.get('port') + '/auth/github/callback'
    callbackURL: app.get('baseUrl') +  '/auth/github/callback'

so the redirect would work. I was able to login, create a test workspace, but starting the workspace timed out. The log did not show any message beyond starting c9. Is it possible for this setup to work behind nginx as a proxy? What I am going for is actually not having to open more ports on my server....

Thanks and best regards,

tntodorov

This is what it looks like without the flat-ui (and without the proxy)...

You can get the UI back by installing flat-ui with bower and then altering the views under views/includes as such:

In header.html:

    <!-- Loading Bootstrap -->
    <link href="/lib/flat-ui/dist/css/vendor/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <!-- Loading Flat UI -->
    <link href="/lib/flat-ui/dist/css/flat-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

And in footer.html:

<script src="/lib/flat-ui/dist/js/vendor/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/lib/flat-ui/dist/js/vendor/respond.min.js"></script>
<script src="/lib/flat-ui/dist/js/flat-ui.min.js"></script>
