[RESLOVED] What am I missing?

Help with Setup/Upgrade
1

Hi all, I’m new to MiB and wanted to give it a try. I created a new vps which i logged in to and entered:

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash

it gave me the error that curl was missing so i installed curl and entered

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash

again and the installation started but with many errors.

What am I missing? I’m following this guide:
https://mailinabox.email/guide.html

The guide did for example not mention that I had to install curl. So im wondering what else do i need to install before running:

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash

Some of the errors i get are these:

"FAILED: apt-get -y install python3 python3-dev python3-pip wget curl sudo coreutils bc haveged unattended-upgrades ntp fail2ban

and it keeps going with errors :(.

Thanks in advance

There is something wrong with the VM. I would try a different VM provider.

3

Strange since it’s a well known provider here in Sweden and i have multiple VMs with them. Like I mentioned cURL was not installed for example. Is there anything I need to install before running the installation?

4

No.

The errors are that Ubuntu packages aren’t available. That’s very bad.

5

Strange…
What system is installed on VPS? (cat /etc/os-release)
What repo sources is used? (cat /etc/apt/sources.list)

I found this answer while searching the forum:

From Mail-in-a-Box’s perspective, an OpenVZ box is not a clean Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

I switched from OpenVZ to VMware and i now have this:

cat /etc/os-release

ID=ubuntu

and

Now I managed to install without any errors but on status page i get “Something went wrong, sorry.”

I tried this: Status Checks can not work
but “Something went wrong, sorry.” when I try to view status page.

I figured out that the vps was not on a clean ubuntu server.

@dreni How did you solve the problem? I’m having the same problems at the Swedish provider GleSYS.

Thanks

Hi Jonas, I’m also using GleSYS :), you have to choose VMWare and then None as Template when you create a server. Once created you can choose ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64.iso as iso on CD/DVD tab and then turn on the server. Connect to it using VNC and go ahead with the installation. This will create a full installation of ubuntu, with cURL and evrything needed. I have manage to make the installation without any erros and tomorrow I will look at the reserve dns and other settings needed to setup the domain to get the MiB working properly.

Hi guys,

Im with GleSYS tech and i have done some research on this issue.

TL;DR we have updated our template, run apt-get update && apt-get install curl before running the install script and it should work.

First issue: Curl is not installed in any template by default, we try to keep as clean templates as possible.

Second issue: The universe repo was not activated on the template, a colleague just updated the template. That was the reason why python could not be installed. One still have to do a apt-get update to get the universe packages, but since you always should be running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade when createing a VPS that should not be a problem.

Just add this to /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty universe

The last issue seems to be related to a bug in the nsd .deb package, more info in this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nsd/+bug/1311886

I resolved that by manually running:

adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /var/lib/nsd nsd

after that the package installed ok, on the updated template this problem is fixed and i could successfully install mail-in-a-box.
