problem

I'm kinda trying stuff out and I figured I'd try this out as well.

I somehow managed to set everything up, as best as I can with the somewhat incomplete docs as of right now. I'm not using tor, though the frontend is currently being served behind a nginx reverse proxy. So far so good. I managed to set up postgres and the systemdicked thing. Works find, except for this. When using any of the following 3 things to do just about anything, I get the errors below eventually:

1. ./srndv2 setup
2. ./srndv2 run
3. systemctl start nntpchan

backtrace / error messages

Error messages: yes

These two above are what really annoys me mainly, because there is indeed no identify executable, but none was built originally either, so I'm not sure how to fix this issue.

Apr 27 03:51:46 xxxxxxxxx.xxx systemd[1]: Stopped NNTPChan Server.

This last one is systemd's which somehow just cannot find the very easily found empty feeds.ini file I set up at /home/nntpchan/nntpchan, which is the directory where srndv2 is located as well. I specifically added to the systemd service file the User option to make sure it used the right file from the right working directory as the right user. That's obviously not giving me the result I expected. Is there a point to having a feeds.ini file at all if you have no friends to "federate" with? This is also an issue that should be raised, considering how little activity this project got this past year, can it be safe to assume that all servers are dead already, and so I'd be the lone new server? Perhaps to prevent that assumption, a separate repo where people add their nodes and public key info the same way meshnet protocols do it as a mean to create virtual connections between nodes. Even better would be to also add some automatic check say weekly that the nntpchan server can be reached, and if not, automatically remove it from the repo as a dead server.

Backtrace: no

Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kusoneko.

you need imagemagick package for identify.

[Kusoneko]

Hello,

$ which identify
/usr/bin/identify

and

# apt install imagemagick
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
imagemagick is already the newest version (8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2-2.1ubuntu11.2).
0 upgraded, 0newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

So the issue isn't about me not having imagemagick or the identify executable, nntpchan just doesn't seem to detect it at all.
