installing ISS on debian 12 has been a painful experience

Python modules failing to build, and so on. What debian version/os is recommended? Trying to just run dockerized tbh.

Probably not retarded. Honestly it’s been a minute since I ran the dockerized build, I’ll dust it off tomorrow and see if it still works. NiS uses nixos but I was running on old ass Debian for years and years and there’s no fundamental reason it can’t run on newer Debian (or anything else with really).

Bullseye or bookworm should both be fine, you just need a Python in the 3.x line even if it’s little old. If a Python package is falling to build… lxml is usually the culprit, think you need libxml or something for it. If you can provide a stack trace or error message I can be more specific.

What’s your use case for running it? Trying to deploy an instance or just poking around? Happy to help get ya up and running, and appreciate any insights into pain points you might run into. Don’t have a great sense for that after a decade of Stockholming myself

Me and a partner want to start up a new instance, yes.

Have python in the 3x line. Running debian 12. lxml is failing to build, as well as uwsgi (the main one)

Some stacktrace for you:

Running setup.py clean for uWSGI
Successfully built Pillow tripphrase bbcode mysql-connector
Failed to build psycopg2 lxml uWSGI
ERROR: Could not build wheels for psycopg2, lxml, uWSGI, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

after messing around with deps we've encountered this now as well (running from docker)

Let me know if you need output from specific commands as well. Thank you for helping. It's much appreciated. We want to start up an old-school forum dedicated to shitposting in the *chan style. Hopefully our instance will help to find bugs and so on.

Yeah you need to update some of those python deps to a version still found in the linux repos.

Is running debian in docker containers a new thing? I thought it was all alpine or something there.

That's awesome! So the docker build has been a little neglected up to now since I don't deploy NiS dockerized, or run it that way for local development (not that there's a reason not to, I just haven't historically).

I dusted off the files got docker going using the new dep format (finally kicked the crufty old requirements.txt) so `docker compose up` (possibly with the extra --build flag) should get you up and going now if you pull down the latest code.

Still a couple things to patch up around loading banners in and switching to uwsgi in docker for performance reasons, but I think this setup should be usable. Will get to that this weekend. But for now, yeah, I think you can pretty much just:


docker-compose up --build
docker exec -ti iss-web-1 /bin/bash
./src/manage.py createsuperuser

Oh, and the admin interface you'll use to set up things like the forums and the all-important enhancement words is at `/admin`

to get the admin account bootstrapped, and setting up forums can proceed from there

It's pretty common, a lot of images are built from a debian base, they just don't usually get named "foo:42-alpine" like the alpine versions do so you don't notice. But e.g. `node:*` and `python:*` without the -alpine suffix are all implicitly debian.

Not retarded, difficult to spin up, even locally.
Had more success with the legacy instructions.
Did have some success deploying it with heroku.

Yeah, a settings file needs to be provided. I just pushed up some changes, if you pull there's a template config file at docker-config/settings.py (actually meant to check that in previously but forgot). That'll get automatically loaded into the dockerized env so you should be able to edit it, restart docker, and have you changes reflected.
