vmc non-interactively specifying a “none” url

[Jim]

I'm looking to non-interactively push an app with a url of "none"

right now my command looks like:

    vmc push sometestapp -f --framework "standalone" --command "python nowebapp.py" --runtime "python2" --url "none"

but this gives me a 

    FAILED

    CFoundry::UriNotAllowed: 702: External URIs are not enabled for this account error. 

Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask such a question, I wasn't getting much luck on stackoverflow.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi Jim,

Have you tried saving the push settings to a manifest.yml file? You should prompted at the very end to "save the settings", answering yes to this creates a file that you can use again when pushing from the same directory or by specifying a file using the -m switch.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm trying to avoid using the manifest.yml file as I can't seem to find a start command located within it so if I tar up the whole directory and send it to someone, I don't think it would work on their machine. Also I wish to create and bind a service on the fly through some bash scripting, which I also don't think is possible through the manifest.yml file.

If you deploy it once with the startup command (set the framework to standalone) and the bound service, save the settings and then deploy again it should recreate and bind the service if it doesn't exist.

As for the startup command, if it isn't in the manifest, just add the key 'command', for example;

applications:

- name: sidekiq-dh-worker

  framework: standalone

  runtime: ruby19

  memory: 256M

  instances: 1

  url: none

  path: .

  command: bundle exec sidekiq

  services:

    sidekiq-dh-redis:

      vendor: redis

      version: "2.6"

      tier: free

    sidekiq-dh-mysql:

      vendor: mysql

      version: "5.1"

      tier: free

This is a manifest.yml for a Ruby sidekiq worker, note the 'command' key and also the two named services.

Actually I want to try and get this working with a version of vmc that includes the tail command. Here is my manifest.yml file

---

applications:

- path: .

  name: nowebapp

  url: none

  framework: standalone

  runtime: python2

  command: python nowebapp.py

  services:

    samplesvc-d166:

      version: "0.1"

      tier: free

      vendor: samplesvc

  instances: 1

  memory: 64M

now if I simply vmc push this I get a CFoundry::UriNotAllowed: 702: External URIs are not enabled for this account error. Is this some sort of bug where you can't have a "none" url in the manifest file?

Thanks, Jim

Jim, 

vmc is interpreting "none" as part of the URL you want to use. You would get the same External URIs are not enabled for this account error if you had "myapp" as the value of the URL field, or if you tried to use a URL like "myapp.mydomain.com" with cloudfoundry.com.

You should be able to have the "url: " key in the manifest.yml file, but leave the value blank. I tried that with a trivial Ruby app, and it worked for me.

Agreed, I think later versions of vmc use a blank instead of 'none'

Hi,

What version of VMC are you running?

The latest version supports '--domain none' (url was split into host/domain for supporting v2 apis).

You may want to try upgrading and specifying this in your manifest for your app:

    domain: none

This would replace 'url' in your manifest. Note that both 'none' and the empty string are both accepted, but 'none' looks better when using the flags.
