All BASIC Sandbox

[John]

I have the All BASIC GitLab CE Sandbox available for establish members. If you're a contributor on the forum, this feature is for you. Public and private repositories. PM me for more details or an account for the sandbox.

GitLab Features  (All BASIC Sandbox)

If you only want to download open source software Community Edition is the best choice. This distribution does not contain proprietary code. Functionally it will behave the same as Enterprise Edition without a license.

[John]

The Script BASIC Development repository is now active in the All BASIC Sandbox. This repository was initially created by AIR cleaning up the distribution and adding WEEKNUM to the FORMATDATE core SB interpreter. I plan to add the extension modules I have built over the years to be improved on as well.

I ran into a project that sounds interesting called Gitbase. Do you view this tool as beneficial?

[John]

The GitLab Web IDE is a great editor that integrates with your project repository seamlessly.

AIR,

Could you post a dependency list and the links to the libraries for download for the SB iOS build? I'm currently doing the same for the Linux version.

Thanks!

Git Extensions

A toolkit to make working with Git more intuitive.

Git Kracken

Easily initialize a brand new project and use the built-in code editor to start working on that project. Add new files and folders, and edit them directly in GitKraken. Save your files, stage and commit your changes. No more context switching!

[John]

There seems to be a problem with the Let's Encryp SSL certificate preventing the sandbox from access. I have escalated the issue with Plesk.

[John]

I have a temporary workaround that only seems to work with Chrome. Firefox will not allow to ignore the invalid certificate problem. You have to proceed ignoring the security warning.

https://sandbox.allbasic.info:8181

Unfortunately until this is resolvesd, command line git fails to connect due to the security issue. Web browser access to the sandbox is it at the moment.

The problem is GitLab creates it's own Let's Encrypt certs and there is a flaw in the renewal process which exceeds the max count on the Let's Encrypt site.

[AIR]

Couldn't you simply disable the Let's Encrypt integration in GitLab and add the sandbox to the allbasic.info site ssl certificate, since it's also using Let's Encrypt?

[John]

GitLab creates and renews its certs and it's not a function of the Plesk Let's Encrypt extension. The faulty renewal is using up the 5o certs in a week limit trying to renew itself.  Plesk put a couple hours into trying to resolve it before giving up and saying it's a GitLab issue that needs to be resolved. Normally GitLab CE is run in a container which is what Plesk recommends.

I will look into your idea if it's possible to use the Plesk generated Let's Encrypt extension.

This looks interesting.

[AIR]

It's always better to learn how to do it manually before relying on front ends like Plesk.

Before you made the changes, when the problem first began, the sandbox was trying to use the cert for the main allbasic.info domain (I checked the cert).  That's why I suggested adding the sandbox subdomain to the primary cert.

[John]

I'm working in that direction based on your advice. Plesk is unable to help.

[John]

I seem to have made some progress following your path AIR. I disabled Let's Encrypt in GitLab and the green HTPPS lock reappeared. The sub-domain seems to using the main domain allbasic.info certificate.

If you use the :8181 option and accept the security warning in chrome look at the certificate. If I could replace the expire one on Nov. 5th, with a the valid allbasic.info certificate, it may work. I still can't generate any certificates due to over limit.
