Strange Install

I installed ASL3 on an Intel NUC 2gb/32gb with Deb 12. I have setup a couple of nodes with both the image and Debian. This time, when I go to the IP address, the landing page is absent. If I go to allmon3, it shows the page, allows login, but shows no boxes at the top to link, etc. I Installed Supermon 7.4 and it works just right.... I will probably do a re-install, unless there is a quicker fix for this.

The landing page is only installed by default in the ASL3 Pi Appliance. You can install the package asl3-pi-appliance for the same effect but be warned that 1) that package is Pi specific and may cause weird benign errors in edge cases and 2) Will "take over" a substantial portion of your system in ways you may not want.

Thanks! I will leave it alone and stay with Supermon!

Don't confuse the landing page with Allmon3. If you installed the allmon3 package (and configured it) then it's available on the system at http://whatever/allmon3/.

I installed allmon3, configured it set a password. I can bring it up, log in to it, but the selections are missing...

What does the output of ‘journalctl -u allmon3’ say? Looks like a configuration issue with allmon3.ini.

I think I will reinstall!!!

Well, you definitely have a few problems:

Jul 04 12:50:11 debiannuc32 allmon3[713]: ERROR: (asl_allmon.node_db) Cannot connect to host allmondb.allstarlink.org:443 ssl:default [Temporary failure in name resolution]

You have what is at least intermittent DNS problems which will cause all sorts of havoc with ASL3 and Allmon 3. You also don't appear to have any nodes configured in /etc/allmon3/allmon3.ini. A configured node would list listed in the node as starting websockets for the node. There's also this:

Jul 04 12:50:11 debiannuc32 allmon3[713]: INFO: (allmon3) no %s found; no menu data available

Which means that the code didn't even find one configured node. I should probably make an error condition if no nodes are configured.

However none of this requires a reinstall. Just following the configuration directions: Configuration - AllStarLink Manual.

With all these errors and DNS problems, better to re-install... I just put a pi-hole on my system. Did not have any problems before that. Will have to shut my pi-hole and try again.... Thank You!

I found the errors and just re-installed Deb 12 and ASL3. They were all password issues (wrong place). I now have allmon3, supermon and the pi-appliance working. The web portal has some nice features that I can't live without, so will stick with pi's for future nodes and just leave this one on for testing. Thanks for the help!!! I am switching to ASL3 due to my HV node getting hit by bad actors overseas... so... ASL3 does have strong security features build it... But, being an oldie, those passwords are a problem... Does the wiki have a place that defines these and where they go??? manager.conf, allmon3.ini, etc?

For starters, you should have a look at Logins and Passwords.

For Allmon3, User Management.

Note: if you are looking to update the AMI password I would recommend using the asl-menu's "Node Settings"
