Investigate running Oasis on Android #240

georgeowell · 2020-02-19T12:48:24Z

Rômulo Alves has got Oasis working on Android! They posted about it on SSB. Christian posted one bug already #237

The install instructions:

Install/open Termux
Install node: pkg install nodejs
Install libsodium: pkg install libsodium
Install Oasis
Run Oasis oasis --open

Termux packages nodejs version 13 by default which isn't a stable version which we support.

There's a few errors on install:

And a few errors on launch:

It seems to run fine in general though!

I can peer locally with my laptop running over the LAN. I can't currently see comments or replies or in fact any content from others including from my laptop. I wonder if that is some sort of firewall issue.

So basically I can post onto Scuttleverse but can't pull anything down from it. I can't seem to follow the account on my laptop either.

UI performance is very good!

I also got this error when trying to follow my laptop account:

WOO. I'm excited to try this sometime later today.

Termux packages nodejs version 13 by default which isn't a stable version which we support.

Btw, we support the Node.js current and active releases, and Node 13 is "current" so we're good to go. 👍

I can't seem to follow the account on my laptop either.

I'm imagining going to the Settings to see the peers, selecting the peer, and hitting follow. What happens when you do that?

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T01:25:40Z

I'm bumping into: Level/leveldown#705

FWIW I've had to install a few other deps to circumvent errors in the build process. So far I have:

pkg install nodejs libsodium python git libtool make autoconf automake

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T01:42:51Z

Also, I had to manually go through the steps in https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally which is a pain in the ass. Maybe we should have a copy-and-paste install script that handles this? I'm not sure.

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T16:40:40Z

GOT IT WORKING.

I had to compile from source, which took 21 minutes and left me with a broken sodium-native (fixed with rm -rf node_modules/sodium-native).
Looking in the settings doesn't show local peers that you don't follow (TODO: make an issue to fix this) so for each device I had to:

Go to my profile
Copy and paste the Markdown mention
Remove the Markdown bits to get the feed ID
Paste the feed ID into my Signal's Note To Self chat (with only myself)
Copy the ID on the other device and paste it into the search
Follow!

Following my phone from my desktop was EZPZ because it only downloaded one message.
Following my desktop from my phone is probably going to take Literally Forever while it indexes. This is sort of expected, but still sucks. It's not good that the HTTP requests just stall forever while we wait.

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T16:43:57Z

There's lots of "cannot connect to server" errors and stuff that I think might actually be the server being so overwhelmed that it's not responding to new MuxRPC requests. Interesting. IIRC @staltz mentioned that this happens sometimes while indexing Manyverse, where the UI's connection with the server drops or becomes unresponsive. 🤷‍♂️

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T16:50:29Z

The readme works though:

Two design notes:

It would be cool if the <nav> and <section> margins weren't bumping up against the edges of the screen, even a tiny margin would be shweet.
We're using SSB-Markdown, which uses the unconventional "one newline creates a line break" that's only used by GitHub comments (not even readmes). Unfortunately this is screwing with the readme rendering and adding hard line breaks where there shouldn't be any.

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T19:51:43Z

Quick note: we don't need Sharp, so I'd recommend npm install --no-optional to make sure we don't waste time on it. 🎉

christianbundy · 2020-02-20T20:32:53Z

IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
