does anyone know of something like a VM image with openboxes on it, or a bitnami stack type setup? I don’t have the technical expertise to get my setup working and it’s driving me crazy. I wish there was a virtual ubuntu machine or something, that had openboxes already on it. Maybe a good idea for someone wanting to make some money. I would rather just pay for cloud hosing but at $50 per user per month, it’s too steep for my company’s budget so im stuck trying to install one myself 
Hey Terry
does anyone know of something like a VM image with openboxes on it
I might be building a virtual machine in the next few weeks for another client. If that happens I’ll try to publish it publicly and will notify you when it’s ready. The closest alternative at this point would be our docker repo, but I honestly think that’s too technical for most people as well.
or a bitnami stack type setup?
Installation is a major pain point and I’ve always wanted to make it much simpler, but just haven’t had the resources (time and money) to dedicate to this issue. However, we were just awarded a grant to build what I’m referring to as a “push button deployment” mechanism for OpenBoxes. Essentially, I’m hoping we’ll be able to put a “Deploy to [name-your-favorite-hosting-provider]” button on our website that will allow you to provision a VM with said hosting provider (i.e. AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, etc) and will run scripts to install dependencies and OpenBoxes.
You can read more about the idea here (Push Button Deployment & New User Onboarding). Unfortunately, that project won’t be completed until next year.

Our managed hosting option is for larger companies that can afford to pay us to ensure the application is installed, configured, and always up and running. But it’s much cheaper to do self-hosting, i.e. purchase your own VM, install the software and manage the server yourself. Unfortunately, the hard part is the “install the software and manage the server yourself”.
So I’ll make you a deal. Let’s start a discussion here about what you are looking to do and where you want to host it (this might depend on where you live) and I’ll work with you on getting an OpenBoxes server up and running. And all you have to do is … well nothing, actually. I don’t really do this to make money. I just want to build good software that people enjoy using and help other people make money.
So what does this all mean for you. You pay the cost to the hosting provider (maybe $25-50 per month) and then you manage the server. If you encounter an issue or need to ask a question about a feature, you post your question here and the community (and I) will do our best to respond in a timely manner. If your business starts growing / making more money and you’d would like reliable support then you can reach back out and we can discuss options.
How does that sound?
FWIW, I believe there’s an untapped market for partners that could probably charge less than we do for support and hosting. In fact, several companies have contacted me privately to discuss partnership agreements. I have been meaning to publish a page to help them advertise their services but obviously that has not happened yet.
So let me open this up to the community.
a) If you’d like to provide hosting and/or support for members of the OpenBoxes community, please let us know what services you’d be able to provide.
b) If you’re interested in support / hosting options (other than those provided by us) please respond to let us know what services you’re looking for and ballpark figures of what you’d be willing to pay for those services.

Hi, thanks so much for the thorough and detailed answer. Refreshing to see someone who takes their users seriously. Honestly, I am pretty technical and I thought I had installed everything correctly, but my tomcat deployment fails on startup. I am not hosting it, I am trying to install on a local machine running bitnami tomcat stack. So i don’t even need to get it up and running on a web host… just on a local machine that I have dedicated to the task. I feel like I am 98% there. If I can get my setup running, I would be happy to work with you to make a bitnami stack that includes openboxes. I believe that’s possible, after first understanding what I’m missing. I get the following when trying to start the app
FAIL - Application at context path [/openboxes] could not be started
FAIL - Application at context path [/openboxes] could not be started
I’m almost 100% positive it’s an issue with the JVM or Tomcat version. Can you post Tomcat logs?
sure which files specifically?
Depends on whether you’re on Windows (catalina.2020-11-10.log and maybe the one with stdout in it) or Ubuntu (catalina.out).

Unable to load specified config location file:C:\WINDOWS\ServiceProfiles\LocalService/.grails/openboxes-config.groovy : C:\WINDOWS\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\.grails\openboxes-config.groovy (The system cannot find the path specified)Hey Terry,
I personally have a fairly capable server located in Melbourne, Australia. I would be more than happy to provide you with a dedicated VM which you are more than welcome to use for an OpenBoxes installation. If you want to discuss pricing feel free to DM me and we can have a chat.
Cheers,

Ok yeah it looks like you have JVM 11 installed.
10-Nov-2020 13:40:08.881 INFO [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener.log JVM Version: 11.0.8+10-LTS
OpenBoxes is build on an older version of Grails that still requires Java 7. Which yes, is embarrassing, but our Grails 3 migration project is a bit underfunded so we’re doing the best we can 
So you need install Java 7. I would recommend a Zulu build of OpenJDK, but you have other options if you want to feel pain.
You can install the Zulu JVM in one of two ways:
-
Download and install it manually
https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?version=java-7-lts&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk -
Add a package repo and install from there (see Zulu OpenJDK Linux Repos on the same page)
Once you get the right Java version installed, the next issue you’ll encounter is that you need to put openboxes-config.properties in the right location i.e. C:\WINDOWS\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\.grails\openboxes-config.properties or else you’ll receive a database connection pool error.
And then you’ll probably encounter some form of OutOfMemoryError. So you’ll need to figure out how to set permgen and heap size for the Bitnami Tomcat stack. I’m not sure I’ll be of much help there but I can search around tomorrow.
@techfourk Thanks for posting your offer. I’ll put together another thread to keep track of requests and offers.

thanks i will do the other stuff in the meantime and hope to get to the memory heap issue by then lol… i’m assuming i want to totally delete jvm11 first then put in zulu?
That would be a very good idea!
There should be a way to configure the JVM for each application that needs it. However, the easiest way to deal with this is to uninstall JVM 11 (assuming there’s nothing else that requires it). Otherwise, for Tomcat you could probably set JAVA_HOME in the setenv.bat file.
If that doesn’t work just set an environment variable to the JVM 7 location.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/310519/how-to-manage-environment-variables-in-windows-xp
For the Tomcat memory settings it appears to be the same as what I expected (i.e. use setenv.bat)
Once you get the database connection pool and memory issues out of the way, the application will take about 10-15 minutes to start up for the first time (during this process it creates all of the database tables and columns). Be patient and don’t stop the application while it’s running the database migrations or else you may need to drop the database and recreate it.
It’s about 2:30am here so I need to head to bed. But I will check back in the morning to see if you have any other issues.
