Install from source on Manjaro (Arch Linux based)

peracchi · October 2, 2020, 9:04pm

Hi!

I’m trying to install Zammad from source into a Manjaro VM.

All prerequisites are installed. I don’t know if the problem is that Ruby is “too new” (version 2.7.1p83). I must use version 2.6.6?

Bellow, console output.

HEADS UP! i18n 1.1 changed fallbacks to exclude default locale.
But that may break your application.

If you are upgrading your Rails application from an older version of Rails:

Please check your Rails app for 'config.i18n.fallbacks = true'.
If you're using I18n (>= 1.1.0) and Rails (< 5.2.2), this should be
'config.i18n.fallbacks = [I18n.default_locale]'.
If not, fallbacks will be broken in your app by I18n 1.1.x.

If you are starting a NEW Rails application, you can ignore this notice.

For more info see:
https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/releases/tag/v1.1.0

I think I found my answer…

After install asdf, I used asdf plugin add ruby && asdf install ruby 2.6.6 && asdf global ruby 2.6.6 to setup Ruby 2.6.6 and now I can continue with my tests.

Yes, the correct ruby version is mandatory and no suggestion.

peracchi · October 9, 2020, 5:11pm

Thanks @MrGeneration!

I removed the latest ruby, installed Ruby 2.6.6, made some aliases and then proceeded with “install from source” directions.

sudo pacman -R ruby ruby-irb ruby-reline rubygems
sudo pacman -S ruby2.6
sudo ln -s /opt/ruby2.6/bin/ruby-2.6 /usr/bin/ruby
sudo ln -s /opt/ruby2.6/bin/gem-2.6 /usr/bin/gem
sudo ln -s /opt/ruby2.6/bin/irb-2.6 /usr/bin/irb
sudo ln -s /opt/ruby2.6/bin/bundle /usr/bin/bundle

Everything went fine except for the last part, “Starting servers with Systemd”.

I can’t figure myself what’s the problem. If I start servers manually, no problem.

Also there is a minor typo, "cd scripts/systemd" must be "cd script/systemd".

zammad@host $ cd script/systemd
zammad@host $ sudo ./install-zammad-systemd-services.sh

Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Manjaro is one the best distros, would be great if we had a package of Zammad for Manjaro/Arch Linux in AUR.

I started again, from scratch.

After all dependencies are ready, I started servers manually using:

zammad@nitro $ rails s -p 3000
zammad@nitro $ script/websocket-server.rb start
zammad@nitro $ script/scheduler.rb start

Then I accessed http://nitro:3000 and done the initial configuration. Everything seems fine.

Rebooted the system and then:

[zammad@nitro ~]$ cd /opt/zammad/script/systemd && sudo ./install-zammad-systemd-services.sh && cd
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zammad.service → /etc/systemd/system/zammad.service.
[zammad@nitro ~]$
[zammad@nitro ~]$ sudo systemctl status zammad
● zammad.service - Zammad
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/zammad.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

             └─1473 /bin/sleep infinity

out 15 17:04:03 nitro systemd[1]: Started Zammad.
[zammad@nitro ~]$

Now Zammad doesn’t work anymore…

Where can I start looking for the problem?

MrGeneration · October 26, 2020, 11:15am

Sorry, but our packager service does not provide support for said operation system:

The production log file (or syslog) might be the best catch.
Normally this happens if your database is not available.
