I’m following these instructions to install rocket.chat in a free Oracle server but I’m stuck at the step where I’m meant to enable https for caddy/rocket.chat:
$ sudo snap set rocketchat-server https=enable
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "rocketchat-server" snap (run hook "configure": Error: Your public IP doesn't match the one resolved for caddy-url, disabling https ...)
After looking around I’ve found other similar posts where the suggested solution is to verify that the output of some commands show the public IP. The dig command runs fine for me:
$ dig batslaves.duckdns.org |grep -A1 ";; ANSWER SECTION:" |tail -1 | awk '{print $5}'
130.61.250.165
You can easily verify that with $ ping batslaves.duckdns.org. The problem seems that the snap hook validates the IP using ipinfo.io. Well, here’s what that service gives me:
$ curl ipinfo.io/ip

So it seems I’m SOL since ipinfo.io is not willing to work. Is there any possibility of forcing that https setting without going the full manual installation/configuration? I have also links installed and I can easily browse to any other website on the net, but I can verify visually ipinfo.io simply does not like the Oracle VPS IP.
