[TW5] Bob and BobEXE version 1.5.0, Apath, automatic backups, access limits to media

[Jed Carty]

This add some fixes to the back-end, more configuration UI, settings to limit access to media files to a single wiki and automatic backups

Something about the newer node versions or the method that I am using to package the executable files means that 32bit systems aren't being supported. If this is a problem I can try and figure it out, but I can't make any promises.

The plugin version of Bob is on GitHub here: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob
The newest version of BobEXE is available here: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-BobEXE/releases

The (hopefully) full changelog:

• Fixed some problems with action-updatesetting
• Add configuration UI for logging
• Tweaked some configuration instructions
• Added udp multicast to find other Bob servers on the local network
  ** For federation stuff
• Started UI for managing interactions with other servers
• Fixed problems with saving images to the server and some settings checkboxes that didn't work
• Fixed a problem with the syncer that could cause it to try and save files it shouldn't.
• Setting the pathprefix does what it should now.
  ** A brief explaination of the difference between pathprefix and proxyprefix is added to Configuration.md
• Added the perWikiFiles setting which makes files served with a specific wiki (by default in the files folder next to the wikis tiddlers folder) are only accessible by that wiki. Files served under filePathRoot are accessible to every wiki.
  ** globally accessible files are served with the /files/ prefix, other wikis have their wiki specific files served with the /wikiName/files/ prefix. For the RootWiki you have to reference wiki specific files with /RootWiki/files/ as the prefix, for other wikis the wikiName part of the prefix is the same as the url path.
• On the back-end added a hook for wiki loaded and wiki modified to the server
• Added autobackups
• fixed a bug that would sometimes prevent wikis from connecting to the server if the RootWiki wasn't already loaded.
• Added a default settings file that contains a value for every setting.

Hi Jed

Downloaded and I am experimenting on Windows 10. Works like a charm.

Thank you

Jed,

 Bobwin.exe creates the folders and then exit!

 What is the problem?

I do not have a way to test on windows, so I need more information before I can be of any help.

[Joshua Fontany]

When I run it from the terminal I get `Segmentation fault`.

How could I debug that for you? Clone the Bob.exe repo? I don't have a full Visual Studio setup on my laptop jut VSCode...

Best,

1. download bobWin.exe  (Apat) from  https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-BobEXE/releases 
2. Put in C:\Bob
3. double click on BobWin.exe, a terminal windows opened and these directories (folders) created
1. Editions
2. IndexWiki
3. Plugins
4. Themes
4. nothing extra happened and terminal closed
5. I started again BobWin.exe by double clicking and a terminal window opens and then quickly closes

As I reported earlier the Bob plugin works fine, so this error only related to Bonwin.exe

Windows 10

Ciao Jed

I'm having same issue as others on Windows 10 with Bob.exe.

Is there a way to manually add a "error reporting level" setting to Bob.exe settings?

Maybe if it had a "verbose" setting node could return more useful info for it on Windows on it bailing out?

A thought

I made some comments before about how to use Bob.exe to get more feedback on exit.

Windows users could use a batch file with a persistent console process IF testing so that on exit any error message does not disappear ... https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/vBNHtxZxvh8/MvWhCLj2AgAJ

The reporting settings I mentioned in last post.

I think that the only way I will be able to act on anything is if someone opens a command line and runs the exe from there and gives me the error messages.

Jed,

 Running from terminal returns nothing!

It just simply shows the prompt after 1 or 2 second no output!

Jed, after first run the setting JSON looks like ...

{

  "wikis": {},

  "ws-server": {

    "host": "127.0.0.1"

  },

  "suppressBrowser": false

}

Just, FYI

TT

[TiddlyTweeter]

Jed, I tried adding the "logger" setting to see if it would return anything.

 "logger": {

    "consoleLogLevel": 2

  },

Made no difference. Exit is silent.

Best wishes
