Please Help Me : to Install and Run the syson Project

[RootOfBigTree]

1. The README ( https://github.com/eclipse-syson/syson/blob/main/README.md ) has no installation and running.

2. And I do installation following the instructions of the doc ( https://doc.mbse-syson.org/syson/main/installation-guide/how-tos/install.html ) . However It's failed to do that ( both with Docker Compose and Manually ). The errors occur as following:

   (1) when doing the command: docker compose up after downloaded the docker-compose file, the errors message :
   Emulate Docker CLI using podman. Create /etc/containers/nodocker to quiet msg.
   >>>> Executing external compose provider "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose". Please refer to the documentation for details. <<<<

   (2) when doing the command: docker run -p 5434:5432 --name syson-postgres \ -e POSTGRES_USER=dbuser \ -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dbpwd \ -e POSTGRES_DB=syson-db \ -d postgres

3. As a result, it's for me that the docker-compose.yml file can NOT be dockered compose and the docker.io/library/postgres:latest can NOT be pulled.

4. So, I don't know how to install syson and run it following the instructions of the doc.

Please help me to tell me how to install and run the syson.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

It seems you use podman instead of docker. We never tested installation through podman.
Please try with docker, and it should be ok.

Hi, AxelRICHARD:

1. I remove the podman: dnf remove podman-docker.noarch ;

2. Then install docker: dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io ;

3. Then do: docker compose up
   only occurs the message: 'Top-level object must be a mapping'
   but nothing.

I don't know the reason why can NOT docker compose up the docker-compose.yml file.

So,

1. I install and configure the postgresql manually correctly,

2. then run the syson application doing the command:
   java -jar syson-application-2024.7.3.jar --spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/sysondb --spring.datasource.username=sysonuser --spring.datasource.password=sysonpasswd

3. the end messages of ouput:

4. access the syson from url: localhost:8080/
   However, there is nothing in the browser page.

5. I open the DevTools of the Chrome browse, and it displays the message:
   Uncaught TypeError: crypto.randomUUID is not a function
   at index-BamngbMA.js:201:8912
   at index-BamngbMA.js:1:24
   at index-BamngbMA.js:3911:4466

Please help me to tell me how to install and run the Syson .

Thank you so much.

[AxelRICHARD]

I'm sorry but I don't know why you have errors with docker on linux.
Some members on the team run SysON on linux and don't have any errors.

After a simple quick research, I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46550348/docker-stack-deploy-error-about-top-level-object-mappings

So I suggest to change double quotes for simple quotes in the docker-compose.yml file.

For the 5th problem, it seems you are accessing SysON from another machine than the one running the SysON application.
If you intend to install SysON on a local server or machine and allow several users to access it, you must enable HTTPS (crypto.randomUUID is only available with HTTPS). Please read https://doc.mbse-syson.org/syson/main/installation-guide/how-tos/https.html for more details.

Hi, AxelRICHARD,

1. I know the reason of the first problem of docker-compose.yml, that was cause by the download method that I do that from the command, curl -O https://github.com/eclipse-syson/syson/blob/v2024.7.3/docker-compose.yml . After downloaded, the file become a HTML type file.

   And I copy the content of the file from page of https://github.com/eclipse-syson/syson/blob/v2024.7.3/docker-compose.yml to create a new docker-compose.yml . And do docker compose up . It looks OK. But maybe it's my network reason to cause timeout error
   docker compose up

2. I enabled HTTPS according to https://doc.mbse-syson.org/syson/main/installation-guide/how-tos/https.html . And I can access SysON .

3. But I do NOT know how to build and run SysON if I change something, because I don't find the building and running instructions in the README file. I don't find the SysON architecture too. Where are these documents?

Thank you very much.

[AxelRICHARD]

There is no build page yet in the documentation, no architecture document too.

We will try to update the documentation as soon as we have the time to do it.

But if you look at https://github.com/eclipse-syson/syson/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml from line 71 to line 87 you should be able to build SysON by yourself.

If it helps, I run SysON on rootless podman (startup code at https://gitlab.com/itafraze/podman-rootless-pod-syson). For development purposes, I guess you could replace the SysOn image with your own. Check how it is built on GitHub as starting point, as @AxelRICHARD said. Consider also #303
