Manual deployment notes (might be outdated):
https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay/blob/master/docs/raspiblitz_deployment.md

[rootzoll]

Lets give it a shot if we can include this into v1.6.2

[rootzoll]

OK I got the SphinxRelay working in the local network and I prepared now to also have it as an option for IP2TOR.

[rootzoll]

Tested recovery/update. Next todos:

• [x] finish IP2Tor option
• [x] add to "MobileApp" with instructions and offering of IP2Tor
• [x] get pairing code and display as QR on LCD
• [x] adapt main menu with hint mobile menu

[rootzoll]

• [x] Test IP2TOR with iOS SphinxApp
• [x] Test install on recover (correct app.json)

[rootzoll]

OK Sphinx Relay Feature should now be ready to test.

First way:

Go to MAINMENU > UPDATE > PATCH > PATCH-MENU > PATCH & reboot ... you need todo this two times because the patch script itself gets updates the first time. -> then you should find the "Sphinx Relay" option under MAINMENU > SERICES.

Second way:

Wait for the first release candidate for the v1.6.2 coming up the next days.

[dennisreimann]

Awesome – that worked! 👍

Feelin' #reckless again 🚀

[rootzoll]

OK did some improvements for IP2TOR setup ... works fine on my machine. Will keep issue open for one last setup test when RC1 is out.

[rootzoll]

RaspiBlitz v1.6.2RC1 is out for testing: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/1785

Installed First way:

I don't get a QR Code to scan? Display and Terminal - nothing to scan ?

Error on Terminal: Failed to encode the input data: Invalid argument

[rootzoll]

@Lace79 can you go to the terminal and run /home/admin/config.scripts/bonus.sphinxrelay.sh status .. has the connectionCode a value?

[Lace79]

connectionCode=''
it seems it has now value

[rootzoll]

Sometime it takes some time. If the connection code has no or outdated value it should give you a warning when you open SPHINX in main menu. Did you saw that warning?

[Lace79]

Yes i saw the warning - it is not locally responding and not over tor. how long does it take?

[rootzoll]

From the status output test in your browser: http://[localIP]:3300 ... it should answere with Cannot GET / then its running locally OK.

[rootzoll]

With PR #1796 I made the warning message stronger when Sphinx is not ready yet.

[openoms]

https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay/releases
new version v1.1.1
Would it worth it to test and maybe include an update option too?

[rootzoll]

Will update the version and quick test. If you like to add an "update option" within th next day that would be great ... I target to package 1.6.2 final (if nothing critical shows up) tomorrow.

[rootzoll]

OK updated the version & added an update option. Ready for merge & final testing.

[openoms]

got a permission error see PR: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/pull/1809

[openoms]

also I followed the update method in https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay/blob/master/docs/raspiblitz_deployment.md#fast-method because the THub method would fail to fetch and overwrite the config (since it is in the sphinx-relay dir)

[rootzoll]

@openoms ah OK the config overwrite could be a think still on my impelementation. Please rebase again against my latest merge.

[rootzoll]

@openoms to preserve the config with the git stash
does not seem to work - see my test results:

[rootzoll]

Maybe a better and safer solution woulds be also to rewrite the config.json on every start with the write-environment part of the script ... let me try this out.

[rootzoll]

OK this looks good now on my testing :) config gets updated on every start now - so we can just update the code and it will be rewritten on restart.

[openoms]

found only one last thing when testing the update: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/pull/1812

[openoms]

Good to have the update option, the releases are very frequent: https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay/releases/tag/v1.1.3

[rootzoll]

Update v1.1.3 tested - will be part of v1.6.2 release. Closing issue.
