Fresh install crash about remarkablepocket

[nov1n]

Hi, I suspect this is due to a problem with the mounted config files. Please make sure the files ./data/remarkable-pocket and the two others exist on the host before running docker compose.

I added a section to the readme to clarify this.

Hi, thanks for the tip. I figured out that I was missing an importent point: remarkable-pocket and rmapi are files, whereas rmapi-cache is a directory (I thought it was all dir).
That said, I have another issue that make it crash right avec authorization:

Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt:

I will need a bit more info to help you. Can you rerun with verbose enabled and paste the output?

[sinux-l5d]

Sorry for the delay. I just get this error with verbose on, a lot of times per seconds:

The remarkable-pocket file looks kind of like this:

pocket.access.token=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx

I have found the problem: the program waits to stdin, which docker compose doesn't set up by default. It works with docker CLI because in your example, you use the -it options

Because you use a webserver to handle the pocket connection, would it be possible to do the same for the reMarkable one-time password?

[nov1n]

Thanks for debugging this one. I didn't consider the auth flow for docker-compose.

It seems something like dc up -d && docker attach $(docker-compose ps -q remarkable-pocket) if you set stdin_open: true in the docker-compose.yml could work, but when exiting the process with Ctrl-C the container will actually stop so that's not ideal.

Wrt to your suggestion: the Pocket auth flow uses oath, making a browser a necessity. I'd rather not change the Remarkable auth flow to accommodate the docker-compose usecase.

I think the easiest solution is to use the docker run command the first time in order to complete authentication. As this only needs to happen once, it shouldn't be too much effort, and I can explain this in the readme. Would that work for you?

[sinux-l5d]

Your solution should work for docker compose.

However, the constraint of having to copy and paste the code is breaking every tentative to automate the start-up.

If not with the webserver, maybe provide an alternative way with a environment variable? If it's set, no need to ask it via stdin :)

[nov1n]

It's not possible to automate the Pocket oauth flow, regardless of how the Remarkable cloud code is provided. I don't see how providing the code through an env var would solve this.

What would you like to automate? The way I see it you authenticate once manually to create the config files, and then you can automate the start-up any way you like.

[nov1n]

I'll close this as a solution now exists.
