config-http-proxy not installing about jupyterhub-deploy-teaching HOT 10 CLOSED

@willingc we don't install nodejs with apt, we install it with conda. The issue appears to be that @ellisonbg is not getting packages from conda-forge, where configurable-http-proxy is packaged.

14.04

from jupyterhub-deploy-teaching.

Hmm, running conda install configurable-http-proxy seems to work, don't know why it failed in the ansible stuff...

from jupyterhub-deploy-teaching.

@ellisonbg Just to clarify... are you running 16.04 LTS or 14.04 LTS?

from jupyterhub-deploy-teaching.

@ellisonbg CHP is only packaged by conda-forge, so if it's failing, that could mean that the conda-forge channel is not enabled.

@ellisonbg how did you provision the server? Did you run anything prior to the deploy?

I got the same error and used the following and got it to work:

ssh root@servername
8. apt install npm
9. git clone https://github.com/jupyter/configurable-http-proxy.git
10. cd configurable-http-proxy
11. sudo npm install -g
12. PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin" npm install -g bower less grunt-cli
13. sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
15. supervisorctl (if not running then supervisord)
16. start all

I found this an issue on Ubuntu 16.04.

from jupyterhub-deploy-teaching.

@minrk it was a fresh 14.04 server on rackspace. I hadn't done anything before I ran the ansible scripts. The only other thing I did was to change the ansible config file to run things as root (that is the user that rackspace uses).

What exact flavor of VM, setup? Did you use let's encrypt? I ran with the changes in #28 and it completed in one go on 14.04 and 16.04. The changes I made don't seem like they would be relevant to the issues you had, though.

Can you share your vars file (privately)? Maybe some choices you made caused it to take a different path than mine.

I'm wondering if this is perhaps a node installation issue with 14.04 and Rackspace.

The nodejs-legacy package installs a node symlink that is needed by many modules to build and run correctly. The Node.js modules available in the distribution official repositories do not need it.
