CloudDB component

[Hossein Amerkashi]

Thanks for great update that includes map and cloud db.

We are trying to use CloudDB in our AppyBuilder distribution, but getting socket connection error.

 Should this component work out of box or should we set up special configuration like storage server and or secret keys?

Thanks

Hossein

Attached is the type of error that I get when I run local instance.

Please let me know if anything should be updated in any of the configuration files.

Thanks,

Hossein.

Are you running a Redis server? If so, what port are you connecting to? Our default is 6381, but Redis's default is 6379.

No, I'm not using Redis server. Should we set up Redis server or can I use MIT AI Redis server for our distribution?

Thanks

The MIT AI Redis server can only be used by the MIT distribution because of the secrets we must keep to protect people's privacy.

An experiment that you can do is:

1. Login to the MIT Distribution and drag a CloudDB component into a project.
2. Copy the "Token" field out of the CloudDB component (it will have been generated when the component was dragged in) someplace (like an editor) and save it.
3. Now go to your own distribution
4. Create (or re-use) a project with the CloudDB component
5. Set the RedisServer to clouddb.appinventor.mit.edu
6. Make sure "useSSL" is checked (its the default) and that the RedisPort is 6381
7. Now take the Token you copied in step [2] and put a % in font of it and enter it into the Token field of the project in your distribution (over-writing whatever may be there).
8. See if the resulting project works...

Jeff, Thanks for your input. Still same issue and same error message

Jeff, If I use your approach and use same token, will that cause security issue - meaning all users of our distro will use same token (see your instruction below)
