Mastodon Terminal not starting

[smilebasti]

@girish Ok the 2. thing is also not working.

1. your command worked fine.

Can you tail -f /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log and see if there is some crash/error when you open the terminal view? Any errors in the browser console?

[smilebasti]

Thats the Error i get when i am starting the terminal

<I deleted the image because it showed the domain name - girish>

[smilebasti]

This is the chrome console error

website erased

[girish]

@smilebasti Indeed, there is a crash in cloudron in quite a strange place. That function should always be defined. Can you send us a mail to support@cloudron.io after enabling ssh access (Support -> enable remote support)?

[girish]

OK, we found that the issue was related to having a reverse proxy in front of Cloudron. This reverse proxy was not configured properly to forward web sockets.

For nginx, we need something like this:

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    '' close;
}

server {

    ....

    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    ...

}

For apache, we need something like this:

  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteCond ${HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]

  RewriteCond ${HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC]

  RewriteRule .* "wss:/192.168.20.12/$1" [P,L]

For the moment, one can just use SSH to open a web terminal like this:

docker ps -f label=fqdn=app.domain.com

docker exec -ti <containerid_from_above> /bin/bash

@girish I have similar issues, I’m using the nginx proxy manager. Everything works but the app terminal. Already tried your config for ngix but didn’t work.

[girish]

@alwynispat Could be because websocket is not getting forwarded properly via the proxy manager. Does it work without the proxy manager?

[alwynispat]

@girish found the culprit, NPM was not forwarding the web socket properly. Fixed that and the terminal works now.

[girish]

@alwynispat do you mean nginx? How is NPM involved here?

edit: oh, maybe you mean your nginx proxy manager?
