Tutorial has some issues. “from_scratch.migration” should be “from_zero.migration”, and visiting server_ip:7584 gives an invalid address error. This is after downloading the virtual box image, installing Alan connect, doing the build steps, importing the built image and starting it.
Edit: Looks like the Alan connect app needs to be restarted after adding the image. Clicking “advanced” nothing was running, it’s fixed after reloading.
- jf- 8y agoAlso can’t find a valid username/password for Hours. There is what looks like a username (hello world) and password in the source but they don’t let me log in.
- klageveen 8y agoThanks for catching that. Did I mention we're still moving fast and breaking things? ... Sorry. The tutorial text should be fixed, will be looking into the Alan Connect app.
- jf- 8y agoNo worries! Nothing is ever perfect on launch day. It’s a nice app you have here. My gut instinct is that you will need to allow under the hood customisation if you want it to really catch on. Your potential customers will be afraid of getting 90% of the way to their goal and realising that the last 10% is impossible.
- klageveen 8y agoThanks for understanding. You’re not alone with that gut instinct. We haven’t run into that problem though. Also, that last 10% can probably be achieved using a custom side app, or a custom front end. We didnt cover that in detail in the introduction, but the options are there. Also, current traditional approaches aren’t guaranteed to get you near 100% either. They may hold the promise of getting there, but we’re usually dealing with clients who understand that most projects don’t make good on that promise.
