Installing onto a machine with no outbound internet at all
Air-gapped test lab. No proxy to configure, no mirror to point at — the machines genuinely have no route out, and files arrive on a reviewed share. What I am trying to work out…
asked by Jide Okonkwo11,745 ·Unsupported architecture: i686 — is 32-bit Linux out entirely?
We still have a small fleet of older 32-bit boxes doing one specific job, and I was hoping to run a few API scenarios on them rather than provisioning something new. The…
asked by Vikram Rajagopal1,240 ·NO_PUBKEY on apt update even though I installed the SDODS key
Key is installed, source is added, and apt still will not verify the index: I saved the key into /usr/share/keyrings/ and the file is definitely there. What am I missing?
asked by Chandra Pillai873 ·apt update: the repository "does not have a Release file"
Added the SDODS apt source and the key, then: The odd part: the files are there. curl https://sdods.com/apt/dists/stable/InRelease returns a signed index perfectly happily. So…
asked by Lars Vinter276 ·Can I just install the .deb without adding the apt repository?
One laptop, one install, and I would rather not add a third-party apt source to a machine that our security policy says should have as few as possible. Is the standalone package…
asked by Anouk de Vries238 ·Windows protected your PC — how do I get past SmartScreen on the installer?
Downloaded the Windows installer and SmartScreen blocks it with the blue dialog. There is no obvious way to continue — only a Don't run button. Two questions really: how do I…
asked by Renata Kohl608 ·Can I build the server image myself and push it to our own registry?
Our cluster only pulls from an internal registry, so pulling from a public one is not an option regardless of how convenient it is. Is building the image ourselves supported, or…
asked by Zeynep Arslan64 ·winget install SDODS.SDODS says no package found — is the ID wrong?
The docs table lists it, so I ran it: winget search sdods finds nothing either. Have I got the identifier wrong, or is my winget source stale?
asked by Tanvi Bhatt126 ·Where does the Docker image keep its data, and what happens without the volume?
The documented run command has -v sdods-data:/data in it. I dropped it to try the UI quickly, created a couple of things, and after a restart they were gone. I assume that is the…
asked by Devon Marsh183 ·Scoop installed SDODS into Program Files instead of the Scoop apps directory
I maintain an internal bucket and I copied the SDODS manifest as a starting point for another app. Mine keeps landing in the default install directory instead of the one Scoop…
asked by Owen Brackley144 ·Installed with brew and there is no SDODS in my Applications folder
I wanted the desktop app and installed with brew because that is how I install everything: It succeeded, and sdods --version works, but there is nothing in Applications and no…
asked by Rasha Halabi572 ·macOS says "SDODS is damaged and can't be opened" after downloading the app
Downloaded the desktop app, dragged it to Applications, double-clicked, and: Downloaded it twice in case something was truncated. Same message. Is the download actually broken or…
asked by Gio Castellano521 ·scoop install sdods gave me the app, not the sdods command — where is the CLI on Windows?
Added the bucket and installed: I now have a desktop application. What I wanted was sdods run in a terminal. Did I pick the wrong package name?
asked by Fiona McAllister159 ·Can I run a suite with the Docker image, or is it only the server?
The image is described as the server and the web UI. Our CI does not need a UI, it needs to run the API layer and fail the build. Is the image the wrong tool for that, or does it…
asked by Bruno Teixeira694 ·VS Code wrote .vscode/mcp.json but the chat still has no sdods tools
sdods mcp install vscode -p demo-shop reported that it created .vscode/mcp.json and the file looks right to me. Reloaded the window twice. The chat has the built-in tools and…
asked by Ingrid Solberg241 ·docker run fails on an M-series Mac: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8
Wanted the server and web UI without installing anything, so I went for the image: I thought Docker Desktop emulated whatever was missing on Apple silicon. It seems not, or I…
asked by Ingrid Solberg241 ·brew install fails with "No matching version found for @sdods/agents ... with a date before"
Tried to install the day a release went out and got this, which I cannot make sense of: The version exists — I can see it on npm and npm i -g @sdods/cli works fine on the same…
asked by Paulo Mendes97 ·What do the installer exit codes mean? They do not match the CLI ones
I want our provisioning script to react differently depending on why the install failed — retry a download, but fail the build for a bad flag. I found the CLI exit code table and…
asked by Nikhil Sane487 ·doctor reports chromium missing but the install said it downloaded it
Install finished with no errors. sdods doctor disagrees about the browser: Everything else in the report is fine. Do I need to reinstall everything, or is there a smaller fix?
asked by Tobi Schrader97 ·brew install asks me to trust the SDODS tap first — is that expected?
Ran the documented command: Homebrew stops and asks me to confirm I trust the tap, and prints a brew trust command to run. I have installed plenty of things with brew and not…
asked by Sergio Alcaraz415 ·"The checkout is missing packages/cli — the clone looks incomplete"
Installing with --source git because I want to work on SDODS itself. The clone appears to succeed and then: Exit code 7. ~/.sdods/app exists and has a .git directory in it, so…
asked by Kostya Petrov7,903 ·"@sdods/cli is not available on the npm registry" behind an internal mirror
Our build network can only reach an internal registry mirror. The installer stops before it downloads anything: Exit code 7. The package resolves fine from my laptop, so I assume…
asked by Ify Adeyemi6,584 ·--pm yarn is rejected — we standardised on yarn everywhere
Every repo here uses yarn, so I passed it through and got: Is that a deliberate omission or just something nobody has got to yet? I would rather not have a second package manager…
asked by Thom Vasseur5,470 ·Does the installer write anything outside its own directory?
Managed laptop. The question I have to answer in writing is not "is it safe", it is "what does it touch" — specifically whether it edits my shell profile, whether it puts…
asked by Avery Hollis188 ·--browsers firefox is rejected — how do I get anything other than Chromium?
Our suite runs on Firefox, so I asked for it at install time and got: Exit code 2. So the flag exists but does not take an engine name. Is Firefox not supported?
