Password Required during manual install of Mainsail. about mainsail

[dosubot]

To address the 404 error during the manual installation of Mainsail on your Raspberry Pi, ensure your NGINX configuration is correctly set up and handle the authentication prompt effectively.

NGINX Configuration

1. Verify Configuration:
   Ensure your NGINX configuration file (/etc/nginx/sites-available/mainsail) is correctly set up. Here is a sample configuration:

   server {
     listen 80;
   
     location / {
       root /usr/share/nginx/html;
       index index.html index.htm;
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
     }
   
     location /server/ {
       proxy_pass http://localhost:7125/;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
     }
   
     include /etc/nginx/extra-conf.d/*.conf;
   }
   

2. Place Mainsail Files:
   Ensure the Mainsail files are in the directory specified in the root directive (/usr/share/nginx/html).

3. Enable Configuration:
   Create a symbolic link to enable the configuration:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mainsail /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Handling Authentication Prompt

The authentication prompt when restarting NGINX is expected. Run the commands individually to handle the password prompt correctly:

1. Create Mainsail Directory:

   mkdir ~/mainsail

2. Remove Default NGINX Site:

   sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

3. Enable Mainsail Configuration:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mainsail /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

4. Restart NGINX:

   sudo systemctl restart nginx

Verify the Setup

After completing these steps, verify the Mainsail backend server is running and accessible at localhost:7125:

curl http://localhost:7125/server/info

If the server info is correctly returned, you should be able to access it via http://<printer-ip>/server/info.

Additional Considerations

• Permissions: Ensure the user running the NGINX service has the necessary permissions to access the Mainsail files.
• Firewall: Check if any firewall rules might be blocking access to the server.

Following these steps should resolve the 404 error and handle the authentication prompt effectively. If you encounter further issues, please provide additional details for further assistance.
