Interestingly moving lub to be installed before snapcloud's rockspec moves past this and to another error.

luarocks install lub
luarocks install /app/snap-cloud-beta-0.rockspec

The resulting error is hit during the luaossl install

#17 28.34 snap-cloud beta-0 is pinned to luafilesystem 1.8.0-1 (1.8.0-1 installed)
#17 28.34 snap-cloud beta-0 is pinned to luaossl 20190731-0 (not installed)

So ... installing the libssl1.1 side steps this issue, but it's not officially supported by 22.04, so either downgrade to 20.04 or manually install it https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=libssl1.1&searchon=names

This will then blow up as old-style git://github.com/bromagosa/snapCloud.git URLs are not supported by GitHub anymore... so run git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// before installing with luarocks install /app/snap-cloud-beta-0.rockspec

I definitely battled with the SSL installation. I wonder if wholesale upgrading dependencies across the board would help…-- Michael BallFrom my iPhonemichaelball.coOn Dec 17, 2022, at 12:58 PM, OpenCo ***@***.***> wrote: This will then blow up as old-style git://github.com/bromagosa/snapCloud.git URLs are not supported by GitHub anymore... so run git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// before installing with luarocks install /app/snap-cloud-beta-0.rockspec —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Running 'git config --global URL."https://".insteadOf git:// ' at any time in the install process makes it so all all git:// URLs are processed as https://. As I'm building a docker file for deployment and dev, this is a good quick fix we could also add to the INSTALL.md.

With the current setup, after following the installation instructions, it is necessary to configure the SSL certificate to establish secure connections properly. We can streamline this process and maintain a clean system if we use a reverse proxy to manage SSL certificates rather than handling them directly at setup.
