Configuración de Discourse: asume que nc está instalado

Ran through the install using discourse-setup (I don’t think I ever have yet, so no time like the present!) and the following error showed up:

Checking your domain name . . .
WARNING:: This server does not appear to be accessible at dotest.example.net:443.

A connection to http://dotest.example.net (port 80) also fails.

This suggests that dotest.example.net resolves to the wrong IP address
or that traffic is not being routed to your server.

Google: "open ports YOUR CLOUD SERVICE" for information for resolving this problem.

You should probably answer "n" at the next prompt and disable Let's Encrypt.

This test might not work for all situations,
so if you can access Discourse at http://dotest.example.net, you might try anyway.

I believe this happened as nc isn’t installed so it couldn’t properly run the test. We should ensure nc is available before erroring out on this check.

I totally believe that I assumed that nc was installed and that on some OSs it’s not.

The messages do suggest that it could be wrong. Did Let’s Encrypt work?

What OS is this? What cloud service?

Fresh debian-9 on DO.

Everything else worked A-OK and it’s up and running great! :+1:

Hmm. Then the question becomes, does discourse-doctor install nc just for one test that might not be necessary, or just say, “well, you don’t have nc, so you’re on your own to see that you have ports open and mapped correctly.”?

I don’t like installing software if it’s not necessary. I think I’ll change the message to recommend installing nc if they want it.

@codinghorror? @mpalmer want to weigh in?

Wasn’t this addressed in a different way by @supermathie?

I’m all for this :+1:

I addressed the problem where Discourse’s email test rake task didn’t properly pick up the STARTTLS option. This is separate.

In that case either stop the script and tell them to re-run with nc installed, or print a warning that the check was skipped because nc was not installed?

I was going to let the script continue with the warning, adding the bit about nc. As it is, it does work, it just suggests that it probably won’t.

¿Podemos cerrar esto como correcto, @pfaffman?

Bueno, han pasado 6 meses. No he añadido un mensaje del tipo «no tienes nc, así que no puedo probar tus puertos», pero nadie más se ha quejado. Quizás el texto:

     Google: \"open ports YOUR CLOUD SERVICE\" para obtener información sobre cómo resolver este problema.
    
     Probablemente debas responder \"n\" en el siguiente prompt y desactivar Let's Encrypt.
    
     Esta prueba podría no funcionar en todas las situaciones,
     así que si puedes acceder a Discourse en http://$HOST, quizás puedas probar de todos modos.

es suficiente. Nunca fue un :bug:, sino más bien una molestia para alguien con suficiente criterio de administrador de sistemas como para no querer usar Ubuntu. Funciona como se espera en Ubuntu (no he verificado otras distribuciones). Tengo la inclinación de dejar dormir a este perro.
