OpenSSL Read Only System Error

[jonajinga]

Hi, when I put in the commands to generate my own .p12 signing certificate I get the following error:

"Can't open "private.key" for writing, Read-only file system."

I'm entering the commands in the Documenso app terminal. The domain is esign.example.net.

I've actually created a .p12 on my system but I have no idea how to find the dang file and move it to my Cloudron Documenso app. I'm pretty new to all of this. Just gotta get past this read-only error and I can get the rest.

Thanks!

Jon

That webterminal into the app should be correct. The correct place of the cert would then be /app/data/ressource/cert.p12 or just ressource/cert.p12 in the filebrowser opened into the app from your Cloudron dashboard.

Might be a packaging bug. Will have to look into that.

Maybe the confusion comes from the location of the cert files. Did you follow the instructions at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/documenso/#signing-certificate ?

@nebulon Hi, thanks for the quick response. Yes, I followed the instructions at the link you provided and also attempted to do the same with Documenso's docs. Of note, I am using the terminal for my Documenso app which is at esign.example.net. Is that the right terminal? I wouldn't know where else to execute those commands.

Thanks again,

Jon

ah you are generating the cert within the app webterminal? I guess the docs are just outlining how to generate certs on a linux system mostly and then the final cert is uploaded to the app.

Edit: maybe you have to first run cd /app/data to change to a working directory in the terminal which has read+write access

[nebulon]

I have updated the docs page now for the use-case to generate that self-signed certificate with the webterminal https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/documenso/

@nebulon Thank you nebulon! I realized I was in the wrong directory and got it working.

Best,

Jon
