installing flarum with plesk
Solved
Configure
-
create redis using docker or any other easy way and connect it to flarum.
Why do you need to use Docker to run Redis ? For all the time I was using Flarum under Plesk, I never had to do this. Nor did I have any issues using SSH commands. Did you create a domain package in Plesk to use, or did you try to install everything as root ?
If root, then this definitely will not work.
@phenomlab i was using it wrong, i used root ID
Once we add domain how to login as / switch to domain user? Switching to domain user SSH will make installing flarum easy? All these days i thought using poket hold is the only easiest way to install flarum in plesk.

@Hari Yes, absolutely. In essence, you install Plesk, create the package you want to deploy (the default is fine) and then once you have added your domain, you create an associated user to go with it, and use that account to access SSH. No permissions issues etc.
If you do it as root, it’s 100% guaranteed to fail and cause severe problems with permissions. I personally would not use pocket hold. This is really designed for shared hosting with no SSH access.

@phenomlab it’s around 6pm here and I was feeling lazy in bed… your reply made me to come online and deploy a droplet. Will disturb you in few minutes hope you don’t mind

@Hari No issues.
-
create the package you want to deploy (the default is fine)once i pick plesk from marketplace it automatically created plesk . package means obsidian?
I’ve added the domain > need to update this right? @phenomlab

@Hari Yes. Sorry, by “package” I meant the allowance of disk space, memory, etc.

https://sudonix.com/topic/234/installing-flarum-with-plesk/24?_=1646226322731@phenomlab i just recalled as that is not an easy way
anyway, i went forward with pocket hold -
how can i connect redis now?i don’t want to use SSH for this, i want to use doker.
while composing this i got another thought, installing bomastra redis will be complicated right? we need to provide full path of PHP for each and every command instead can we just mention the extension name in the composer file?
what is the right command to run composer command?
/opt/plesk/php/8.0/bin/php /opt/psa/var/modules/composer/composer require blomstra/flarum-redis:*i will save that command in notes, could you suggest to me the right command to use composer, i think we need to give the right path of compser.

What is the fascination for Docker here ? It’s not needed, and unnecessary overhead from the overall management perspective. You just install redis in the same way as you would do normally. This is exactly the way I had one of my previous Flarum forums running.
Using pocket hold under Plesk is completely pointless and will be a nightmare to support and administer.
We’ve also mentioned the install of composer here
https://sudonix.com/topic/226/issues-getting-flarum-to-work-on-new-host/13?_=1646226835366Based on this, you already have the info you need.

@phenomlab since I have seen many console errors i have asked like that regarding docker. I will try again later tomorrow.

@Hari Don’t go down the docker rabbit hole unless you really and truly need segregation between hosts. Flarum doesn’t need this level of complexity

today i have revisited this discussion and tried again, now i can call myself a certified flarum pleskian
installed 3 flarums and running without any issues, figured out how to run redis
I am feeling happy to use Plesk though virutalmin offers lot of other functionality to my intelligence level i feel like plesk is a good place for me to sit and use.

@Hari don’t celebrate too early
Plesk can be the ultimate Achilles Heel when it comes to troubleshooting and resolving issues. -

Important notice regarding a potentially misconfigured Redis instance on your Droplet plesk-ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-amd-blr1-01:
Hello,
A recent network security scan suggests your Droplet plesk-ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-amd-blr1-01 is running Redis and that it may be unintentionally exposing data or misconfigured to allow unauthorized access.
Redis listens for traffic from everywhere on port 6379, and you can validate this report by attempting to connect to your Redis on 6379 via a simple telnet command:
telnet 1.0.0.0 6379 If the connection is successful, you will receive output like the following, which will confirm that your Redis installation is visible to the public Internet:
Trying 1.0.0.0.... Connected to 1.0.0.0. Escape character is '^]'. You will want to restrict outside access to your Redis instance to prevent outsiders from reading or obtaining your data.
Remediation of this issue will take just a few minutes and is relatively straightforward. You will need to open /etc/redis/redis.conf and uncomment (remove the “#”) or modify the line beginning with:
#bind 127.0.0.1 ::1Afterwards, restart redis with:
sudo systemctl restart redis You could find this information also in our community tutorial at: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-redis-on-ubuntu-20-04

redis.confshould not be empty. If it were, then REDIS does not work - what’s the output oflocate redis.conf? -
