Habitat: Can't start hab-depot or just confusing error messages

[lilianmoraru]

Hab version: 0.8.0/20160708161531

I tried to install hab-depot and run it locally(note that I did not run some special config commands, I just copied hab into /usr/local/bin and tried to use it).
I did:

$ hab install core/hab-depot
$ hab pkg binlink --dest /usr/local/bin core/hab-depot hab-depot
$ hab-depot start

It returned:

Starting package Depot at /hab/svc/hab-depot/data
Depot listening on 0.0.0.0:9632
ERROR:r2d2: connection refused: Connection refused (os error 111)
ERROR:r2d2: connection refused: Connection refused (os error 111)
ERROR:r2d2: connection refused: Connection refused (os error 111)
ERROR:r2d2: connection refused: Connection refused (os error 111)
...

If this issue is related to not setting up github auth, than this probably should print an error message first.
I could not test if it is related to this issue because I don't know the commands that I have to run to set it up and the site is down right now.

the connection refused message means you need to have Redis up and running.

@metadave I heard of Redis but to be sincere, I don't know much about what it does(something related to caching I think).
I searched through the docs more info on how I could set-up my own depot and I found only these:

• Under Sharing packages: https://www.habitat.sh/docs/share-packages-overview/ - says However, it is possible to run your own depot by installing and running the core/hab-depot package.
• Then I searched what depot was, to find more info about it, and I found this: https://www.habitat.sh/docs/concepts-depot/
• Then I though may be I can find something in the package's description: https://app.habitat.sh/#/pkgs/core/hab-depot/0.8.0/20160708162117

From my searches I have not found Redis being mentioned(I should of probably searched through Github).

[metadave]

sorry for my short replies, I'm not at a keyboard at the moment. We definitely need some docs in this area. In the meantime, you can start redis with:

    hab start core/redis &

Cheers,
Dave

I think I've seen this before(there was an issue for that too).

Edit:
Yes, I had it here #951 and it was first reported here #755.
I'll read through the suggested link and try that when I get back home.

[metadave]

I'm currently working on the permissions issue via https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat/pull/1012, you'll need to either
a) run as root
-or-
b) make sure the hab user exists and that it has read/write/execute permissions on /hab.

[lilianmoraru]

@metadave I get the messages when running the command with sudo.
But I tried right now running it under root(sudo -s and from root trying to execute the command) and the result is the same.
I guess the only solution is b), I'll try that when I get back at home.

[lilianmoraru]

I tried it right now and the b) option worked.
Also, hab-depot start worked after redis was started.

hab-depot start
Starting package Depot at /hab/svc/hab-depot/data
Depot listening on 0.0.0.0:9632

I am in a bit of confusion how I could use my local depot right now but I'll play around with it.

I still think the issue is relevant(at least for documenting this).

Edit:
I found that I can use this https://www.habitat.sh/docs/reference/habitat-cli/#hab-pkg-install with -u to indicate to use a specific depot.
Ow, and HAB_DEPOT_URL: https://www.habitat.sh/docs/reference/environment-vars/

[metadave]

yes indeed, HAB_DEPOT_URL is what you need to set. Something like this should do the trick:

    export HAB_DEPOT_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9632/v1

You may also want to try:

    hab start core/hab-depot start --insecure

The --insecure flag will allow you to upload packages and public keys without authenticating to Github.

[josb-mi]

Fwiw, I used export HAB_AUTH_TOKEN=mysecret, where mysecret was the token that hab setup asks for.

[smith]

If you're running with --insecure, you still need to use a HAB_AUTH_TOKEN, but it doesn't matter what it is.
