Hi Upspinners,

I'm writing to request some assistance in testing a new thing we have been working on: it's a graphical file browser for Upspin, which includes a graphical signup and Google Cloud Platform deployment process. The code is in exp.upspin.io/cmd/browser

If there's anyone out there that has not yet signed up for Upspin, or who just wants to set up a new upspinserver instance, and who *also* wants to help me test this new software, please give it a try!

You can download it here:
(For the linux and darwin/macOS variants you'll need to "chmod 0755 browser" before you can execute it.)

If you have not registered an Upspin user yet, try just running the browser. It should guide you through the registration process.

If you do have a registered Upspin user but would like to try the GCP upspinserver setup process, edit your $HOME/upspin/config file, remove the dirserver, storeserver, and cache lines, and then run the browser. It should jump straight to asking you to specify server endpoints, from which you can elect to set up a GCP project.

I haven't yet updated our documentation for this new process, although I hope it should be fairly self-explanatory. Proceed with caution, and please only do this if you're willing to file detailed bug reports. :-)

Speaking of bug reports, please include a copy of $HOME/upspin/log/browser.log in any bug reports. I made an effort to automatically scrub any sensitive data (such as private keys) from that log, but please check it yourself to make sure.

You can report issues by replying to this message or through our issue tracker: https://github.com/upspin/upspin/issues/new

Many thanks,
Andrew

Looks great!

Out of curiosity, are there any plans to add an unauthenticated mode? Sometimes I’d like to share files with people who are not yet using Upspin. It’d be great if I could just run an “anonymous browser”, possibly restricting access to just files under my user account, and share links to the browser.

Side note: I had to go get -u upspin.io/cmd/... before it started working, otherwise I would get this error message:

2017/09/28 08:49:29 startup: error: error communicating with "upspin.zekjur.net:20443":

Do you have "cache: yes" in your config file?

Then either run 'cacheserver' in a separate terminal, or remove the 'cache: yes' line from the config file.

Yes.

tl;dr. Install upspin before browser :)

I ran ...

tools ./browser -http 127.0.0.1:8090

(after getting "cannot listen on non-loopback address "localhost:8090", must have dodgy hosts or something )

from a location not in my $PATH

entered an email, and got the message.

exec: "upspin": executable file not found in $PATH

so added 'tools' to the path (trying stuff by coincidence)...

cannot generate keys in /Users/Dan/.ssh/dan@******.com: directory already exists

started a new session - got same path error (path now in environment), ignored path error clicked register again, and got the second error (after rm -rf .ssh/dan@******.com)

So i decided to stop blindly stabbing at the keyboard, and think that maybe there is some tool called 'upspin' that browser expects to be in place already.

Having come to this directly from a tweet (I had seen Robs talk, but done nothing about it) i had not been following along.

So I went to upspin.io and found that I had not been through the part of the upspin journey that would have seen me install upspin itself

Sharing so others may enjoy, i mean avoid, my idiocy.

Hi Dan, thanks for the feedback.

You didn't actually do anything wrong. It's expected that this should work on its own, and I just sent out a change that will remove the browser's dependency on the upspin command-line tool. I definitely should have called out this limitation in my call for beta testers, so sorry for the confusion!

It's actually quite interesting that you ended up in a state where you had keys in .ssh but browser was trying to create new ones. Would you mind privately mailing me your $HOME/upspin/log/browser.log file?

Thanks again,
Andrew

Does that file exist? If so, what are its permissions? What are the permissions of its parent directories?

If it doesn't exist, does the upspin command-line tool work? If so, is there a secrets: line in your config file?

I had registered quite a while ago and I was going to set up
local dir/store servers from my local machine but didn't set
that up.  So I removed the storeserver and dirserver entries
from the config file and fired up the "browser".

The browser prints Serving at http://localhost:8000/#key=....
but the web page it pops up complains. From the browser.log
(which has the same messgage):

2017/09/28 19:41:26 startup: request: {}

No. There is a file of similar name in ~/upspin/deply/bitblocks.com
so I copied it to ~/.ssh just an experiment but the same
ENOENT message appears. Originally the config file had

storeserver: remote,upspin.bitblocks.com:443
dirserver: remote,upspin.bitblocks.com:443

which I removed.

Yes. It is

secrets: /home/bakul/.ssh

I just did "go get -y ~/go/src/upspin.io/..." commandline
complains the same way. FWIW, I had

$ upspin user -help
upspin: user: config.InitConfig: item does not exist:
factotum.NewFromDir:
factotum.NewFromDir: open /home/bakul/.ssh/secret.upspinkey: no such file or directory

The secret file has 0600 permissions. FWIW I had registered
on May 1, 2017.

Hi, Andrew,

I would like to do some testing over the weekend. I just read some texts from upspin.io 

I hope I can help.

Worked:

This is what I had to do

go get -u upspin.io/cmd/...
go get -u exp.upspin.io/cmd/browser

browser

The only other comment I have is since I don't read more than first 255 characters of anything I almost missed this

To complete the signup process, find that email, click the verification link, and then click the 'Proceed' button.

Wonder if it could be made bold (and/or come first) so that it's more noticeable.

As last step I said use upsin as read only and now it says

Client.DirServer: user jakub@****.ca: bind.DirServerFor: no directory endpoints found.

Which makes sense since I did not deploy anything and my upspin home does not exist yet.

Looks great ! Thanks Upspin!

I downloaded the Darwin executable, ran it and got the message that there was no upspin client in my PATH. (I thought Andrew's reply to Dan's message meant that I didn't need to install the client.) After I Installed the client, tried again and got the "cannot generate keys in /Users/jim/.ssh/jim@******.com: directory already exists" message. After rmdir /Users/jim/.ssh/jim@******.com, I tried again and was successful.

Hi, Andrew,

two corrections from my side:

- "First error after browser pop-up 'Sign up an Upspin user' filled with con...@stefan-hans.de:" The email address was mistyped - u...@stefan-hans.de is correct.
- I've obviously done kind of "go get upspin" before. I've only forgotten it.

That's right; it's not available yet. That will be one of the final pieces that will fall into place once the rest of the work is done.

Where is the source for upspin-ui? I don't see it in /cmd on master and not getting an upspin-ui bin when building.

The browser is now available under a new name, upspin-ui, as part of the regular downloads: https://upspin.io/dl/

Yep there's a new version on the way, with a new download location. It'll be available early next week.

Hi Upspinners,

I'm writing to request some assistance in testing a new thing we have been working on: it's a graphical file browser for Upspin, which includes a graphical signup and Google Cloud Platform deployment process. The code is in exp.upspin.io/cmd/browser

If there's anyone out there that has not yet signed up for Upspin, or who just wants to set up a new upspinserver instance, and who *also* wants to help me test this new software, please give it a try!

You can download it here:
(For the linux and darwin/macOS variants you'll need to "chmod 0755 browser" before you can execute it.)

If you have not registered an Upspin user yet, try just running the browser. It should guide you through the registration process.

If you do have a registered Upspin user but would like to try the GCP upspinserver setup process, edit your $HOME/upspin/config file, remove the dirserver, storeserver, and cache lines, and then run the browser. It should jump straight to asking you to specify server endpoints, from which you can elect to set up a GCP project.

I haven't yet updated our documentation for this new process, although I hope it should be fairly self-explanatory. Proceed with caution, and please only do this if you're willing to file detailed bug reports. :-)

Speaking of bug reports, please include a copy of $HOME/upspin/log/browser.log in any bug reports. I made an effort to automatically scrub any sensitive data (such as private keys) from that log, but please check it yourself to make sure.

You can report issues by replying to this message or through our issue tracker: https://github.com/upspin/upspin/issues/new

Many thanks,
Andrew
