Hello,
  I am using template for some elogbook entries.

This is a nice idea, but currently no text substations in templates are implemented. It only works in attributes right now.

Hello all,

I am installing elog on an Rocky Linux instance. Have dependensy problem.

Hi Nina,

The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does
not take care of dependencies.

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically

Is there an RPM available for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9?

And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM?

Hi,

The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :


Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs.
                   icon2.gif   Re: Installation with amp on Rocky Linux, posted by scott on Mon Mar 25 16:19:02 2024 
Hi,

Thanks for the links to EL8/EL9. 
                      icon2.gif   Re: Installation with amp on Rocky Linux, posted by Laurent Jean-Rigaud on Mon Mar 25 16:44:03 2024 
Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to
rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.

Dear Stefano,

the support for the LDAP is limited. As stated in the documentation "on an as-is basis".
       icon2.gif   Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Laurent Jean-Rigaud on Fri Mar 5 01:43:20 2021 
Hi,

It seems that ELOG does not support LDAPS but only simple LDAP connection.
          icon2.gif   Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Mar 5 13:54:13 2021 
Hi,

we use the LDAPS connection in our setup and it works without issues.
You have to specify "LDAP server = ldaps://server.tld:port" and normally it uses a different port (636) than insecure LDAP (389).

Many thanks for your files and instructions. I integrated this into the official elog pipeline, so now the RPMs can be downloaded from https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html
and they will be updated automatically after each commit. If you succeed with any Debian/Ubunto I'm happy to add that. What's missing now is an
easy way to compile for Windows (which I don't have anymore).
