Solved Failed to install app: 402 message: Missing token

[abbe]

Hello everyone, i am facing a weired problem (which i did not faced before), that when i try installing my custom app on my cloudron i get the following error message <Failed to install app: 402 message: Missing token> though i am successfully logged into my domain plus its opened in my browser. The .cloudron.json file presists and it contains a token. Is this token the required one? or am i missing something ? I tried to reinstall teh CLI, but with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

@abbe whoops, sorry, that was a mistake in my login command (corrected now).

Actually, I just realized now that your cloudron is probably all fresh. Has it even logged into the app store? Go to the dashboard and click on App Store. Is it logged in there? Without logging into app store, you cannot install apps. This is needed to get the application manifests.

@abbe Can you post the cloudronmanifest?

[girish]

Does a simple cloudron list work?

[abbe]

@murgero here is a screenshot of my json file

[abbe]

@girish yes, a simple list command works!

[murgero]

@abbe I may be wrong, but aren't you missing some options in there?

id is defintiely required, no?

This is my usual template for cloudronmanifest.json:

{
  "id": "package.name.something",
  "title": "AppName",
  "author": "AppAuther",
  "description": "file://DESCRIPTION.md",
  "tagline": "Some tagline",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "healthCheckPath": "/",
  "httpPort": 8888,
  "addons": {
    "localstorage": {}
  },
  "manifestVersion": 2,

}

@murgero the issue is still showing up although i added the ID Field.
i don't know about it, but i think it is not required ? i have checked teh docu to see which fields are required, and all of the required fields are found in my file.... but i am sure i am missing something (this why i tried to reinstall the CLI)

[murgero]

@abbe Well Failed to install app: 402 message: Missing token 402 is an error returned by the server, that error specifically is a client side error. In HTTP, 402 means payment required but IDK how that applies here if your license is good.

Edit: Are you on the free cloudron? Even with CLI, it'll only allow 2 apps.

[abbe]

@murgero i have seen before in the forum that someone already faced the same issue, but the topic did not last any further, but i have also seen that deleting the .cloudron.json might solve the issue, but it does not. (it is also a second reason why i reinstalled the cli)

yes i am on the free plan, but i have no apps installed yet on it.

[murgero]

@abbe You're sure no apps are installed? What comes up when you do cloudron list?

[abbe]

@murgero yes i am, < >

Edit: also the dashboard is empty ! so, yes there are no apps installed yet

[murgero]

@abbe That's weird, I assume you've done the usual bit of rebooting the server and such?

[abbe]

@murgero yes i did

[murgero]

@abbe In your profile on your cloudron, under the API section, does the current token show "read-only"?

[abbe]

@murgero it says no API Token created ?

[murgero]

@abbe I figured the cli tool would make a token - I am probably wrong on that. Sorry.

[abbe]

@murgero i was on the same boat, i was just playing around with the tokens. no problem

Edit: i even logged out and deleted all tokens i had and re-created one for the CLI, changed the null value of the json file and logged in again, but still no answer...

[abbe]

Can i link my Domain with several accounts and servers ? So i might get rid of this issue ... or the Domain is only linked to ONE Cloudron Server ?

Did you try my earlier suggestion ?

• cloudron login my.domain.com
• cloudron inspect

Does the above work?

[abbe]

@girish as mentioned before, a simple list command works, but not the install!

when i try to issue the command <cloudron login domain.com> i get an error saying "Failed to login: self signed certificate"

but giving <cloudron login my.domain.com> returns a positive output "Existing token still valid. Login successful."

issuing the command inspect gives a JSON load, with the following values:
{
"apiEndpoint": "my.domain.com",
"appStoreOrigin": "https://api.cloudron.io",
"apps": []
}

should i navigate to my.domain.com/#/domains to renew teh certs i haev ? or will this be a bad move to take ?

Nah, no need - cloudron cli requires the my.example.com not example.com so you're fine.

@girish well, that solved the problem i was facing, though i do not understand why it does, but anyway, thanks a lot that helped me

Solved!!
Solution = <Just sign in to the app store in your Cloudron Server as Mr. @girish said>

Once more, thank you very much for the support .
