Error in installation of single server with container

Hi Everyone,
I am following installation given in the below link;

I need some assistance in installing OKAPI
I edited the file and added local private IP address

• Edit file /etc/folio/okapi/okapi.conf to reflect the following changes:
  role=“dev”
  port_end=“9250”
  host="<YOUR_IP_ADRESS>"
  storage=“postgres”
  okapiurl=“http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:9130”
  docker_registries – See explanation in okapi.conf file. Default is unauthenticated.

3. Restarted Okapi
4. And when I tried Pull module descriptors from the central registry by using below instruction

curl -w '\n' -D - -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -d @registry.json \
  http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules

**I am getting an below error **
cuils@cuils:~$ curl -w '\n' -D - -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
>   -d @registry.json \
>   http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules
Warning: Couldn't read data from file "registry.json", this makes an empty
Warning: POST.
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9130: Connection refused
https://folio-registry.dev.folio.org does not show up any thing

I am now stuck here and cannot move. I am not the one who stuck here. 
Please someone can send full detailed instruction to perform local installation.
Thanks
Vivek

Morning.

Looks like you have two problems, actually.
Anyway, you need to create registry.json first. The paragraph below the curl command in the guide. However, it should contain:

{
“urls”: [
“http://folio-registry.dev.folio.org”
]
}

Second, looks like okpai does not answer on localhost. Use http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules
instead.

Thanks Nils_Olof_Paulsson,
I created registry.json file and saved under /etc/folio/okapi directory.
I also tried with localhost and local ip address in curl, but got the same error;
uils@cuils:~$ curl -w ‘\n’ -D - -X POST -H “Content-type: application/json” \

-d @registry.json
http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules
Warning: Couldn’t read data from file “registry.json”, this makes an empty
Warning: POST.
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9130: Connection refused

cuils@cuils:~$ curl -w ‘\n’ -D - -X POST -H “Content-type: application/json” \

-d @registry.json
http://172.17.3.254:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules
Warning: Couldn’t read data from file “registry.json”, this makes an empty
Warning: POST.
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 172.17.3.254 port 9130: No route to host
Please guide me where to place registry.json file.
I also disabled the firewall but got the same error.
Any other clue how this issue can be resolved?

Morning,

You are not on the host on which okapi is running, right ?

Try

ssh 172.17.3.254
cd /etc/folio/okapi

and then your curl should work.
The 172.17… . kind of hints that you mignt be running a VirtualBox guest ?
In that case you could use the console.

Just a couple of quick notes:
The single-server instruction requires that every command is run on the host okapi is installed on.
curl … -d @ … sends the contents of the file, so you could specify a path. And there is no need for the file to be in /etc/folio/okapi. I had a work dir. where i put such filers, and also had the platform-complets repo there.

Thanks,
-I installed ubuntu 20.04 server in my laptop and plugged to the network and configured static IP 172.17.3.254
-I followed instructions given in Single server with containers | FOLIO Documentation and reached up to Install and configure Okapi point no:4 Pull module descriptors from the central registry. link of Module Descriptor is published to the FOLIO Registry at https://folio-registry.dev.folio.org. shows error

It was not clear in the documentation where to create and keep registry.json file and from which path curl to run.
I am very thankful to your assistance.

hello

I run into the same issue maybe you just need to use “./registry.json” and not just “@registry.json” on the curl call use:
curl -w ‘\n’ -D - -X POST -H “Content-type: application/json” -d @./registry.json http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/pull/modules

after that it works fine for me. I waited a bit and got JSON feedback with modules id and names.
