Howdy. I'm trying to install sandstorm on an Ubuntu 20.04 server and when I get to the GPG step, it passes, but then errors out saying that the Download package seems to be more than a month old and to "verify the computer's clock is correct and try again". I have the Time zone / Date and time set correctly, so I'm lost.
<randrums>
has anyone encountered that?
<ocdtrekkie>
Yeah. Unfortunately the issue is that Kenton didn't do a release this past weekend.
<randrums>
ok. Thank you for the reply.
<ocdtrekkie>
The script checks to see if the script is from the last 30 days or not. But you should be able to edit that.
<isd>
We should maybe add a flag so people aren't just stuck unable to install (or at least having to edit the install script) when kentonv has a busy month.
<randrums>
no worries, I can try to figure the editing out. I'm thinking I just have to download the install.sandstorm.io file to my computer
<ocdtrekkie>
That might not be a bad idea. I had also considered just extending that number but Kenton found it motivating.
<ocdtrekkie>
Yeah, it's line 1385 on install.sh
<randrums>
is there a way to grab the install.sh file to download to my server? it's just an ubuntu server on a VPS
<ocdtrekkie>
You could grab it from GitHub
<randrums>
i tried wget then https://install.sandstorm.io . .but it just downloads an index.html file because i'm a moron :)
<ocdtrekkie>
I think that is a reasonable thing to try, fwiw
<randrums>
thank you!
<ocdtrekkie>
Unfortunately occasionally GitHub makes weird URLs that don't curl or wget well either.
<randrums>
ah. I see.
<ocdtrekkie>
I think curl might follow the download better than wget, since that's how we tell people to run it.
<isd>
There's probably a flag to follow redirects, but alternatively just change the `| bash` in the instructions to `> install.sh`
<ocdtrekkie>
I was going to suggest that ^
<randrums>
brilliant it worked! thank you!
<ocdtrekkie>
So edit line 1385 with a bigger number of days then run that locally and hopefully you shouldn't have any other issues, but we are here if you do.
<randrums>
bingo, it worked, thank you so much! i appreciate it.
<isd>
no problem
