Teleonomic@drwho I hope you'll pardon me a very basic computer question. I've been playing around with Huginn recently (heard about it from you, actually). I've got it up and running and I can access it via 127.0.0.1, but I'm trying to set up url for it. Do I need to register a domain name for Huginn running on an Nginx server on my personal computer? Again, apologies if this is really silly, but I am a mere biologist.
The Doctor@brownmattb I would recommend putting Nginx in front of it. You don't need a domain, you can run it on a box a home without trouble. You can also put it on a bare EC2 instance or any other VPS.
@drwho in front of means running it as a reverse proxy, right? I think that's what I've got it doing. I followed the instructions on github.
@brownmattb That is correct. It sounds like you've got it going correctly. Have you been experimenting with agents or scenarios, or are you working with the examples right now?
@drwho right now I've got it sending me daily weather reports, and that's about it. Next thing I'm trying is some of the Twitter agents.
@drwho Mind if I ask you another stupid question? Changing the domain in .env and the server_name in nginx.conf doesn't seem to anything for me. I can never access the Huginn page by typing in the url I put there. Is there something I'm missing?
@brownmattb How are you running Huginn? On your home box behind ye standard issue home router? What is the machine's name? What did you change DOMAIN and server_name to?
@drwho Actually, your mention of machine name was the clue I needed. I got it figured out and am know well acquainted with the hostname and hosts files. Thanks, and sorry for the bother.
@brownmattb No bother at all, glad I could help.
